I also always close my blade in between cuts. I do not wear the glove and have never cut myself in 15+ years of quilting and using rotary cutters. A friend of mine warned me once not to use your cutter with bare feet which I try not to do as the thing might fall off the table and land on your foot.

Don't see the need for a cutting glove if one is careful. You don't see Norm using "safety gloves" on This old House. ;) LOL
I do use my cheapy garden gloves with the rubbery palms for FMQ.....I like the better control I have with moving the quilt around.

No I don't use one and don't plan on using one even if I do cut my hand or fingers. I don't like to use gloves in the garden either. I love to feel the soil, pebbles etc but not the earth worms. :P

This is the only time my Fons & Porter Klutz glove is used: when my daughters cut. This is my youngest daughter squaring up some fabric for microwaveable rice bags.

I don't use gloves, but I teach sewing in high school, and I have my kids use the gypsy gripper when they are using the rotary cutter. It grips the ruler and keeps their fingers out of harm's way. I taught for years without it and spent a lot of time silently freaking out. Now I can breath again!
Nancy Notions sells them if you want to see what they look like.
