Default Safety issues of wearing gloves when using power tools?

There are times when I wear "gloves" to do some tasks. I find that
wearing tight latex gloves can offer a better grip on some wood and
tools. I think grip is important when feeding stock into a bench
planer, TS, bench router, etc. Latex gloves still leave you a "feel"
and are thin enough so that if there is a chance of some bit being
caught up, it should rip through without pulling your hand in.
