Holy fuck, if only he hadn’t leaned into that at that moment ... he may have walked away with a healthy dose of tinnitus |

Re: Death by Tire Explosion
I hope the dog next to the pick up truck was OK. Looks like they were tied on a leash. They disappear after the blast, but were pretty low so maybe didn't catch too much blast or shrapnel. If you freeze frame, the blast comes out between the guys legs like a gigantic fart. |

Re: Death by Tire Explosion
Can any gearheads out there explain what happens in these cases? How many PSI are they using? Can this happen to any tire? Is this strictly a 3rd world phenomenon? |

Re: Death by Tire Explosion
been there and really done that, was lucky as got full blast but wheel was still on truck so i took the blast but not the wheel, ears were still ringing 2 weeks later and face was pockmarked from ice particles due to rapid decompression, just a truck wheel but has 110 PSI or more in it , enought to kill anyone ! Wheel should also have been in a mobile tyre safety cage |

Re: Death by Tire Explosion
in a typical 10.22.5 truck tyre there would be around 110 psi pressure in it, def not just a third world thing can happen anywhere, but we in the UK have safety training and safety gear to use such as mobile tyre safaty cages etc , never clip an airline on as if phone rings and you forget , well speaks for itself, seen ictures of a concrete ceiling 12 feet up where a guy did that with an earth mover wheel , hung phone up and remebered he had left the airline connected to it and cliped on with a zip tie, as he bent over the wheel to remove the airline it blew up and lauched him so fast into the ceiling , once they cleared him up you could clearly see the imprint of him in the ceiling ut more than that the imprit og his brain leaving the back of his scull, its a bomb, never underestimate the power in them . |
