How can glass people survive?

I have been trying to imagine a world which was also created by a Big Bang. Following is something that I have created so far:

Another planet which was created also has species like us but they live in a tougher environment with high atmospheric pressure and more exposure to the sun; they have features like us but instead of skin, they are made up of hot glass. Why? Because slowly with the passage of time and exposure to too much heat, their skin evolved from something like ours to hot-glass-like. The color faded away. The skin became harder and it became glass-like.

My questions are:

• Will they not break every time they fall down or collide with each other?
• How can they avoid being so fragile?
• How can people with skin made of glass exist without constantly breaking?
