Wouldn't they catch a bare hand the same way? How does not wearing gloves help?

A bare hand would probably just be cut badly. A hand with gloves can be pulled into a cutting tool that will then dismember your arm.

Fabric is just so much easier to catch thats why things like short sleeves and no gloves are so important, it is probably much less likely for your hand/arm to get wound around the machine because the muscle and skin doesn't catch as easily.

But yes you'd end up hurt either way.
