I've had what happened to Mick happen to me. I was cutting up a rusted bolt or something like that and I stopped to see how much I had left to cut and I looked at the grinder blade and it looked just like Mick's. It scared the crap out of me to think it could have exploded if I hadn't seen that. I only have one good eye (can't even read highway signs with it) so I have to be super cautious when I'm working, if I loose my good one, I'm out of luck. I was wearing prescription safety glasses at the time, but the rest of my face was exposed at the time. After that, I went and bought a face mask at Harbor Freight to wear over my glasses for extra protection. I guess I would just say always stop every once in a while to check. It may be the two second check that could save your vision.
I bought this face mask:
