I had a branch grab my glove one time and try to drag me into the chipper --

I cut the cuff off all my work gloves for that very reason. 

I leave maybe 1/4 inch away from the stitching, about where the red line is in the photo.

Split Leather Double Palm Work Gloves, 5 Pr.

The cuff when the glove is snagged will lock onto your wrist and YOU are in for a ride.  Without the cuff, the glove is off your hand and gone before you realize anything happened.  Lack of a cuff does not affect the use of the glove, and the glove does not fall off the hand, but it sure a surprise when you look down and the glove is gone.

Locust trees really want to take you into the chipper with them!  The thorns are bad; but better to bleed than to chip!  (Worked at the Holmdel Arboretum one summer when we had a Hurricane go by and EVERYONE was on the road crew. Shoot my Father got me up early and made me clear the road in front of the house so he could go to work.) As for the great white birch attack I think it was more a: "Thud, splat".
