Spent $300 on a new glass handling tool and it might have saved my hands

I got this suction cup roller thing for moving big panes by myself. Used it on a 10-foot tempered glass door last week. The grip gave out halfway up the stairs... the glass didn't break, but I had to catch it. My back is still sore. Anyone know a better brand that won't slip on a hot day?

That suction cup failure probably saved you from a worse injury. A 10-foot door falling on you is no joke. The real problem is moving tempered glass alone, not the tool brand. My buddy's shop has a two-person rule for anything over 8 feet. The heat just makes a bad idea more dangerous. You got lucky this time.

Come on, how bad could it really be?
