Pyrex wouldn't break but it would've been like hitting a brick wall.
Not intrested in giving a physics lesson here, but a body has much more surface area to distribute force, and a body is softer and has no sharp edges on it like a puck. The same as why the glass is rarely broken by body checks. It is usually only if there is a flaw in the glass anyway.
