A friend broke the plate at a recent simcha, not in a bag, and promptly Hatzolo had to be called because of the bleeding she sustained.

Is there an inyan not to use a bag? It's the first such simcha on either side; could they not have know the "danger" ?

oy vey! I think it depends on the thickness of the plate. In our case, the plate that was brought was too thick and we had a lot of trouble getting it to break at all. It took 4 tries to get it to split into 2.

We also do the Tenoyim right before the Kabbolas Ponim. However, at the vort, where a "kabbolas kinyan" is done, a plate is broken as well.

a bit off-topic, but at my wedding, dh's Rosh Yeshiva was mesader kidushin and he insisted that the plate by tenoyim was wrapped in a tablecloth. it was very thick and the mothers tried, but they had to unwrap it a coulpe of times to make sure that it was still safe but could also be broken. he is known to be very careful in matters like that - to try to make sure that a simcha remains a FULL simcha!

ours was at our engagement party (not sure about tenyaim/vort, you don't hear these words commonly here), and wrapped in aluminium paper.
