Was that a regular grinding wheel or a cut-off wheel?

It was a regular 4" grinding wheel. I'm glad I had gloves on. A piece hit me in the hand and another one whizzed by my head. It wouldn't have been a bad idea to have the guard on the grinder and I probably should have thrown that wheel away earlier. It was bouncing around a little so it was partially my fault. I'll know for next time.
