I did something similar but not as bad a while back. :roll:

Whenever I put something in a drill, I hold the chuck and put the drill in fast mode and turn it on, and the jaws open and close very quick. So I open it, place a wire wheel in, put my hand on the chuck once more and fire it up. Well it certainly tightened onto the shaft alright, but then it kept spinning, and I buffed up a nice portion of my hand.
It's not one scrape, its 50 deep scratched. The more annoying of the two.

Ouch, I've been bitten too. On the soft skin under my wrist.

But yeah, they will go through most clothing. Some heavy welding gloves & apron are good protection tho.
