I don't think a single angle grinder that we have at work has a guard on it. And we have a dozen of them.

I've run them for over 2 years daily without a problem, but needless to say if you're not careful you could definitely ---- yourself up with one.

On a sidenote I am getting pretty lame *** response time on replacing my innovate from their support team. I'm gonna take an angle grinder up to their office and grind holes in all their employees.

edit -- that was a joke, its the weekend and they're closed.

Well I can only see a couple ways. Working under a car and dropped it, or leaning over the grinder and falling onto it.
