Would this actually kill you though? Sounds scary but not really deadly.

An angle grinder to the face could easily kill you. Even falling off a ladder could be potentially deadly depending on the situation

Yeah, it was definitely a situation where all my vital organs were dangerously close to a cutting disc spinning at over 10k rpm, plus the ladder. Definitely enough to stop a guy from living if it went slightly differently.
