I was using a 9 inch grinder with a cutting disc on it but i was using it to flatten the weld off a steel beam, i was pushing too hard and the centre of the disc broke from the nut and spun into my stomach, my first thoughts were my intestines would be hanging out but luckily i had a few layers on coz it was cold so i just had a bit of a bruise, lesson from that one, dont use cutting discs to grind

Similar thing happened to me cutting out a floorpan with a 9inch one I'd hired. It had the guard on, but somehow kicked back and just took the skin off the side of my hand. That was through gloves too.
