Flexibility!
Glass Fiber can dissipate energy along the fiber, normal glass does not have a structure to dissipate the energy in an even form and proves easier to crack as a result. This is also due to the structural flaws in Normal Glass.
Similarly the lifting ropes of cranes are actually coiled metal fibres and not solid chain link, the metal fibres dissipate the weight better than the chain.
