Now I'm curious: why? Not that I don't believe you, but I'm wondering what is the reason? It's not intuitively clear why gloves would make it more dangerous, even knowing that it is.


If a glove comes into contact with a spinning blade, there is a good chance it will pull the rest of the glove, and the hand within it, right into the path of the blade.


Aha! That is one of those things that never crossed my mind, but makes perfect sense once explained.
