i took the tip/chunk off my thumb with a polyfan flat disc once, lol.... and then last month at work i was doing some wire wheeling..... and the grinder is 11amps so its got some jam.. it kicked back and got me right int he balls then flew about 9ft... i was down for the count on that one... it hurt.
