Why a dead pig? What about the last guy to finish the group ride?

This thing only weighs 12lbs. Plenty heavy enough to inflict major damage if swung as a weapon. Especially if you're a biscuits and mustard type of person. (that wasn't a rotor, though) Imagine how much damage it or something similar with a thinner blade profile could do attached to a 150lb projectile traveling 20+ mph. That's a lot of ballast with lots of force behind it. It's entirely possible. Not likely, but possible. I still think the chainrings would do more slicing damage. Blunt force, most anything attached to the bike will pack a punch.
It's just too recessed in a bike, in a wheel to be able to do some serious injury.

1x would be nicer and simpler solution to chain ring problem! I've been cut by my own chainring a few times. Had enough of it so I went 1x. No more cuts ever since!

I thought this thread was going to be a heads up that Amazon had those little bike pizza cutters on sale.

Discs have been around for a lot longer on MTB's than road bikes and falls off-road are also generally more frequent. Yet I've never known anyone to have any cuts from a disc brake. Chainrings, yes, but even that is a rarity. It seems to be only since they have been adopted by road bikes that this has been raised as a potential issue and I can't help but think it is projected mainly by those who don't like them generally.
Anyway, this guy did some testing:
