I ran into a lot of videos of tires blowing up like that. They are NOTHING to mess around with!
Not at all. I've witnessed a man being lifted 3 feet in the air along with the tire and rim when he was filling it with air and the split ring let loose and hit the ground. He was fortunate that the ring was toward the ground and not up into his body.
Sounded like a half stick of dynamite going off.
Thats why they have tire cages. People have been decapitated from the split rings letting go on the old style Dayton tires.
The lugs on a Dayton can travel a fair distance and can knock you senseless if they hit you in the head. Thats why you loosen the lug nuts
first and crack the lugs with a hammer to let them pop before you take the nuts off.
Also looks like the guy fell funny on his fore arm.
