this is a simple procedure to remove the pressurized air first, but forget just once and you might ended up dead

Always take the valve out if welding on a rim.

Once had the same thing happen to me on a bin truck in London, on a 22.5, only i was just inflating it , not welding it, put me in hospital for 2 weeks with perforated eardrums, left eye partially deflated, pockmarks to the face and neck as water in the air crystalises when the tyre blows, and ruptured larynx as a result of ingested pressure, i was lucky , many had been killed with the same before me, i never worked on hgv tyres again despite training, accidents and the unknown still happen regardless, as we all know on here, in stead i started an apprentiship with the bomb squad in the regular army, can you see a pattern deveoping here ?

"Welding the tire when the wheel exploded" . Yup.

Plain moron. Welding a fully inflated truck tire. must have a death wish or something.

Probably a youngster with no practical experiences and obviously not enough guidance. I know I could have bought it a ton of times if not for someone looking out. Now I'm fifty and still pretty much complete other than some bumps and bruises..

Amazing that his head stayed on his body after that.
