Should of been wearing his rubber/plastic goggles, they would definitely of prevented that...
To be fair, that description does sound like it probably pinched a bit...

Nasty
Guy I worked with once got a disc that size stuck in his foot whilst "trimming" some corrugated roofing panels. Went through the top of
his saftey boot - nearly lost his foot and still hobbles badly.
Happens quicker than you can blink and it takes a few minutes for it to fully register afterwards too.

Its amazing how some people disregard the danger that using tools can cause....
A local builder I know cut some 2x4 on his lap with a circular saw, That was six months off work for him while his leg recovered!

Lucky it was just his leg, couple of inches could have got him a darwin award.

saved by my Dickie
Was cutting a section out of the chassis last winter with a 9" angry grinder and the tube gripped the blade(stress relieve?) took about a third
of the blade off, grinder spun under my left arm and cut into my Dickie's winter overalls under the armpit, at which point it snagged in the
insulation and stopped I had a bruise from my elbow, up my arm and up to my collar bone on my chest. I was wearing a full face visor and rigger
gloves, the whole episode took a split second and I ended up on my backside against the garage wall 4ft behind me!!!!
Only use 4" grinder now

That really sounds painful. The guy will never forget that accident every time he shaves he will remember!
Tough lesson!

I remember the time that me and my mate beaver were cleaning the underside of my mini to weld in a new floor and sills. I was using a wire brush in a
angle grinder and it snagged on a piece of metal, ripping it out of my hands and straight at beaver! Luckilly it was the one with a dead mans handle
and landed harmlessly at his feet, very lucky!
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
