I am 50 years old, male, and in excellent condition. I have no problem lifting an iron skillet one handed. That still doesn't mean it's impossible for me to drop it. Putting heavy hot iron things on a glass surface regularly raises a risk that the glass will be broken if you are Schwarzenegger. Just common sense here. I am not going to invest $$$ in a glass top stove no matter what the heat source.

I got a new smoothtop cook top 1999 and used it until 2012. I used a cruddy smoothtop cook top 2012-2013. We bought a new induction cooktop in 2013, and I am using it now. I used CI on all of these without dropping a pan of any sort. Nor did I drop a pan on my previous cook tops.
I admit that I am mindful when I hoist my pans around. I use a CI grill pan several days a week. I move it off stove after I am through with it, because it tends to leave an shadow on the burner. If I get too weak to do this safely, I'll find a lighter weight grill pan.
My mother ruined her smoothtop when she left a pan on the stove and forgot it. Her cooktop cracked.
I hate electric stoves! My preference is for induction first, gas second, and electric distantly third.
