The guard is designed to deflect the wheel should burst occur not the belt guard. Page 16 of the TS400 manual shows correct standing position with your body to the left of the machine. This revisited in pages 19 and 20 also.
I hope this is helpful and keeps you safe going forward.
The operator in this video is using a Stihl TS400 and if you look at page 11 of the TS400 manual under the title GRIP it says:- "Place your left hand on front handle bar and right hand on rear handle and throttle trigger. Left handed users should follow this instruction to."
Unfortunatley your view is a site myth like the majority of comments you come across when people have not had correct training by people who know what they are talking about.
If the operator shown in the video used the disc cutter correctly then he would not suffer from wet legs. Disc cutters are designed to be used left handed not right handed. The operator should be on the opposite side to the blade with his right hand holding the front (loop) handle and the left hand holding the rear handle and the trigger/switch
