Adhesive Tape

Removing a window sash to fix a broken pane of glass can be dangerous; there's always the possibility that a sharp shard will fall out and cut you. To prevent this, crisscross both sides of the broken pane with adhesive tape before removing the sash. And don't forget to wear heavy leather gloves when you pull the glass shards out of the frame.
