Tempered glass is designed to not be sharp when broken. But they break a window furthest from the person inside to limit damage.

They can also use some tools to remove the window in mostly one piece after cracking it, rather than smashing it and sending glass flying.

Tempered glass is still sharp but it breaks into tiny pieces so it can't cut deeply.
