Gloves are dangerous because they will not tear like skin. The mill will continue rotating as it rotates then arm around the bit, usually about 1" in diameter. So think about how your bones would be crushed to spiral around the bit. The blood loss would be so rapid you would probably die. If you are by yourself, the pain will probably cause you to faint and die.

Leather and clothe gloves are not allowed around rotating machinery for that reason. Latex would be okay.
