A לץ who was discussing טעמי המנהגים said that some Reform temples have given up the מנהג of the חתן breaking the glass under the חופה.  He explained that they gave up the מנהג because there was a חתן who stepped on the כוס so hard that he frightened the כלה and she miscarried right under the חופה.   So they abolished the מנהג under the theory that אין מנהג במקום סכנת נפשות.
