More to the point, plate glass windows are extremely expensive. Throw a customer through one and generate that big a bill and you're probably looking for a new job.

I'm a bit sceptic as to whether it is even possible to throw somebody through a modern glass window - the 2nd answer in this quora-thread gives some professional background on modern glass windows. And apparently there's precedent for people hurling themselves into a glass window. Garry Hoy of Toronto eventually succeeded in his (involuntary) attempts at autodefenestration, but only because he knocked the complete pane out of the frame.
Throwing a male human body (avg. canadian adult male weighs 80.3 kg), at a speed at least as fast as they could run (upwards of 20-25 kph), is another thing entirely.

And no one can talk to a corpse, of corpse ...

I've punched through a window before, albeit a pretty thin pane.

There is a story about the "all glass" siding in a new skyscraper, when the women (in particular) were afraid of tripping on the carpeting, and falling out of the windows. The management brought in the designer of the windows to talk to the people in the offices about this.
When everybody was assembled, the designer took off his hard hat, ran the entire length of the floor, and jumped feet first into the window, and fell flat on his back. He then walked back to his hard hat, picked it up, put it on, and left the building.
