I've got some rusty railing to chop with the angle grinder later today. Joy unbounded.
Not that I have ever attacked myself with hand tools or anything:

Still have to tell people that it was just a small shark attack.

Apart from 2.7 tonnes of D3 the most dangerous thing in my garage is the mains powered angle grinder
and perhaps me!!
When replacing floor panels on my 1961 Mini van I picked up the angle grinder to cut something loose, after switching the grinder off I lowered my hands and the disc , which was still rotating at high speed snagged on the latex gloves that I was wearing and dragged my onto the disc. The result was an operation at the QE in Birmingham to repair the tendon in my thumb and 6 weeks in a plastic cast.
I no longer plug in the angle grinder until I am fully fitted up with safety trousers, welding gauntlets and goggles, latex gloves are definitely out.
You can be as careful as you like but a split second inattention with an angle grinder can result in serious injury, you have been warned.

I was always told when I was young by older trades people never wear gloves with any rotating machinery

Hmm. I'd say "never wear the wrong gloves"... Surely gloves that provide both cut protection but also give enough dexterity are better than none.D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

You can get very thin work gloves now that have kevlar fibres woven in for using with angle grinders.
