Thanks, now everytime I use my angle grinder I'll be thinking of this picture...

This is also why they have a protective shield on the grinder, I have seen many users that remove this shield as they think all it does is get in the way.

You never cut or grind something with your eyes or body inline of something spinning.You look from an angle.

Yes, I learned not to stand in front of the table saw when ripping lumber. After a good kickback I have a hole in the drywall, fortunately not in me.

someone dropped the grinder and busted the zip disc
not checking it out before using I took a chunk like that in my shin
hurt like a mofo
also be careful using a framing gun on LVL
nails tend to go in so far and hook out....lol
took one in the nose
