I love his stuff, and for me—being in my mid-forties—he is around since forever. A few years ago I got a book I had read as a kid and when I saw his space installations again I had to find out who did those. Was surprised he is still around

Happened to me 20 years ago while sanding wood flooring (the edges). The angle grinder got stopped by a brick and flew out of my hand. I'm not a strong person but seriously doubt anybody could have held to it. Moved totally erratically
