I'd rate it as a lot safer than the old '60s - '70s trick of making
a bench saw by inverting a hand-held circular.

I have actually done that, once, and still have the hands to show
for it

I managed earlier this year accidentally to convert a 9" angle
grinder into a surgical tool. Three months later my stitched-up
tendons were more-or-less healed and I could use the hand, but it's
still got no strength in it. Personally I wouldn't fart about with
angle grinders ;-)

Did similar two years ago with a 4" grinder, sweat shirt I was wearing
jammed the disc & stopped the machine, but not before it took a lump out of
my inner forearm. Still got the scar.
