For sure, but in this scenario I doubt snags pulling anything would be possible. In the video it was stopping the blade before it could even break the skin on fingertips.

If the safety mechanism failed though, the resulting injury would be far worse as a result of the gloves, so it might not be worth it in that regard.

The gloves could pull the hand along the trajectory of the blade.

Not if the gloves are conductive too.

[kobeya]

Most gloves make a point of not being conductive.

Which would be why I explicitly suggested conductive gloves in my first comment.
