Never place your fingers within less than 3 inches of a moving part, especially one moving at very high speeds.

My thumb was probably 6 inches away and a flap of more than 6 inches of tread separated from the 6 inch wheel...that's my point-normal safety procedure might not protect you given the nature of many of these shooter wheels.
