So far, knock on wood, I have not had a rotary cutter attack me, however, I would offer the same advice that you give for wearing cutting gloves while handling a wand blender. I was making cranberry bread, holding the wand in my right hand, with my thumb near the button, I should have used anything but my finger to get the cranberries out of the blades; when I accidentally hit the button. Yup, I got a deep cut on my left index finger and a trip to Urgent Care where I had a few stitches and a story from the Dr. about how he gets cuts to the chagrin of his wife.
