Not me but I found it on Facebook.
The guy said "Had a BAD shop accident yesterday while power-carving with one of those chainsaw-toothed angle grinder discs. I had on all the safety gear- face shield, ear protection, leather apron, leather gloves- but those things are just bad news. Kicked back on me, I lost my grip on the grinder’s side handle and it went across the back of my left hand, cut through the glove and shredded three fingers and the thumb. Lost a chunk of the index finger tip. Blood everywhere, doctor tried his best to stitch together the shreds of flesh. It’ll heal, but nasty scars will end my hand modeling aspirations.
I might have lost fingers if not for the safety precautions I was taking. I was using a grinder with a paddle switch that wasn’t locked on, so it turned off after it hit my hand. That and the leather glove likely slowed the cutter and kept it from going through bone.
Don't use the chainsaw style carving discs! Stick with the much safer carbide burr style from Saburrtooth Power Carving Tools!"
