If one is comfortable with being fully in charge of the situation and owning the consequences, even tightening terminal bolts differently to 'manage' the connection as shown in the video will 'work'.. but whatever you do, unless you are 100% confident it cannot become unsafe, i would make a connection that does not require you to unthread anything to abort the operation! Needs to be 'pull-apart' or 'knock-apart with the safety stick'..
And considering the main danger here is heat, i would probably just put on the gloves BEFORE you run into something being too hot to separate with your hands.
It could be taken as being safety-first or over-dramatic.. if you understand the situation well enough you will be in no danger. But sometimes our faith in ourselves is the most dangerous thing.
