Good safety warning, Mark.
I changed to twisted wire rotary brushes many years ago, mfg Germany. And I also changed to using them on slower but more powerful drives. I used to absorb a share of wires from high-speed straight brushes, though I always wear good gear. That absorbing dropped way off when I made the two changes: twisted wire and a slower, stronger drive.
