The establishment's security cameras recorded the harrowing moment of the accident. The tire repairman was performing maintenance on a tire when an abrupt explosion occurred.

The incident took place last Monday (28), around 10:30 pm, at a rubber shop located on the banks of BR-232, in Belo Jardim, in the Agreste region of Pernambuco.

In addition to the dedicated mechanic, there were three more people on site, who, fortunately, did not suffer injuries.

The rubber worker was promptly taken to the Hospital Júlio Alves de Lira, where he receives medical attention. We are relieved to inform you that your health status is stable.

At this sensitive time, our thoughts are with the mechanic, his family and friends. We thank everyone who provided help and we are rooting for his speedy recovery.

Helluva blast. Glad he survived.

We’ve seen many of these tire explosions where other people weren’t so fortunate.

He wasn't paying attention to what he was doing because he was tired.

I changed a lot of tires at work in my youth. Never heard of one exploding. They were all car tires though. Looks like the tire explosions on DR are usually truck tires.

At the hospital, doctors treating him said he was "quite deflated".

The Michelin man would take that like a champ.

The bruising alone would be horrendous, but he must have multiple broken bones, maybe internal injuries, facial injuries, eyes..
