That surgeon had been operating a table saw when his glove caught the saw blade and pulled in his hand.

Never wear gloves when working with rotating cutting heads (saws, routers, even drills). The blade will grab the glove and pull your hand in as the fabric wraps around it. The glove also gives you a false sense of safety, and blocks your sense of touch. A tiny catch of the glove might destroy your hand, where if your hand was bare you might’ve pulled it away with only a cut.

You’re much safer with your hands bare and being very aware of where your fingers are, especially around a table saw.
