If they manage to open the bathroom door, that door will take the majority of the impact. And then even if that happens, half the time their back will be facing the door causing their back to take the impact. Only 25% of the time of an already very small window will their face take the brunt of the impact. There are much bigger risks we take. If you are worried about that, why even bother have FAs walking around the cabin?; Everyone should be belted into their seats at all times.
Yeah the danger of a cockpit door projectile seems significantly smaller than the gaping hole in the side of the aircraft and the lack of O2.
