I dare say several here have watched a few Stumpy Nubs videos on
youtube, maybe even some of his safety videos for e.g. table saw
kickback?

Well, he had a lucky escape with a chainsaw blade in an angle grinder

Ouch . I can't help but think a chainsaw uses just the same type of
blade. I make quite sure I don't stand inline with a chainsaw blade! But
still not really a friendly tool.


Sure, but neither is a circular saw or an angle grinder.


I regard them as friendlier than chainsaws. Circs in particular are easy to hold against kickback. AGs don't spin big teeth to dig deep into the workpiece - unless you use a loony disc.
