By accident of course. It was WEIRD.
The wire wheel buzzed the skin off of a swath of my hand maybe 1/16 inch deep, but left all the hairs standing. It didn't start bleeding for several seconds, then little drops of blood started appearing throughout the trench, gradually growing and merging into a pool. There wasn't any pain for about 15 minutes, then it hurt like a sonofabitch.
That was about 7 years ago. It healed up pretty well, just a little visible scarring on the surface.
Now I always wear gloves when I use that machine.
