Also every time I run over glass (if I wasn't able to ride around it), I will brush it off with my glove immediately. .

The thing to be fearful of is not the glass in the tire, its getting your hand pulled along and stuck between the wheel and the seatpost. (makes for a rather dramatic skidding stop.)
Just remember to loop a thumb around a seat stay when you do it and that solves the problem.
