Edit: Wow., what a HORRIBLE waste of a post at the top of a page. Sorry all!
1) The tape thing should never be used with any expectation of safety or reducing damage.
2) The theory is, if bits get smashed, some structural integrity could hold, which could mean smaller shattered pieces and less total volume of glass blasted in.
In other words, if someone is stupid enough to be in said location with exposed windows it might marginally make it slightly less lightly a big piece of glass might kill them and instead got sliced up by smaller, sharper pieces! No amount or pattern of tape is going to actually save a window from breaking, though. Throwing up wooden boards with gaps in them will have the same effect. Only complete shutters or barrier coverage should be counted on, and even then I still wouldn't put my dumb ass close to any windows.
The tape thing will not save you or the window. The window is going to break anyway and need to be replaced regardless, and your dumb ass should be nowhere near it regardless.
