'kinell no! Small Angle grinders run at 10,000 rpm. I've never had a blade explode but it does happen.
Aversion to your own safety, would you use this?

Why not donate it for free and ship it to any of the people who say you should use it?
FWIW, this is quite simple: no, no and no.

Come to think of it, the gloop inside your eyeballs (vitreous) has a consistency of blancmange. The shattered blade will mash it up really well.
The center of the eye is filled with a jelly-like substance called “vitreous.” At a young age, this substance is very thick with a consistency somewhat like “Jell-o”. As a natural process of aging, the vitreous becomes more liquefied as one gets older.

Regardless of that blades condition I would be changing it anyway for a diamond one

I've had a couple of discs go on me over the years and it's not a pleasant experience. In both cases there was no injury but there was a need to change my underwear.....
A disc costs a couple of £, why on earth would you consider using a known fractured disc

Two of us had a brief "Safety Induction" on a building site once. The foreman showed us to a Portakibin and left us to it. On the walls were about fifteen large photos of construction industry injuries. One was of a smashed up eye socket from a shattered disc. The post-mortem X ray of a skull that had been on the receiving end of a brick that had been kicked off five floors above was marginally worse. It made a lasting impression on me.You had to make me do that, didn't you......

Having re-read the thread title I think the answer is actually 'yes'.
However, as I don't have an aversion to my own safety I most certainly would not use that.
