Does rock always bounce off of windshields?

Hey folks! This is Patrick from Chip Happens Auto Glass.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"Does rock always bounce off of windshields?"

Now, trucks naturally experience windshield damage frequently because they're taller, flatter, and constantly exposed to road debris. Small rocks and gravel that might bounce harmlessly off a car windshield often cause significant chips and cracks in truck windshields. Despite this frequency, many truck drivers—especially independent operators—often overlook these chips, assuming they’re minor nuisances. They’re not always aware that these chips can usually be repaired quickly and affordably.
