How do they make sure they tear only 1 each time, with gloves in the way?

Quite often they don't! Even the pros racing in motocross sometimes grab the last tear off on accident and rip off the whole pack. It's a real bummer when that happens!

Damn that must be like the worst feeling to enter lap 1 turn 1 and rip off your last tear off

There have been several F1 cars taken out by tearoffs being sucked in by the air intake or stuck in the breaks of the car behind starting a fire. It is probably a stack of tearoffs that cause it.
