Tire explodes while filling

Had one explode on me when I worked at Discount Tire, heard something like popcorn popping and turned/dove away as soon as I heard it. It was a dually tire with around 60psi of air, damn thing came out of the clamps and still went up around 15 feet. From what I heard Discount Tire changed their policy that whenever you are putting air in a tire it has to be in a cage. Some kid had a setup explode in his face and badly injured or killed him.

Similar happened to my uncle and broke almost every bone in his hand."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

I had one blow up on me at Discount tire. it was loose and luckily I had it standing upright and it blew on the side facing me and just jumped down and away from me...
I never aired up another one loose. I always left them clamped in and stood back a couple feet.

I will see if I can find the photos the Air Force used to show of the guy that was cut in half by an exploding aircraft tire.I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.
Sex with an Asian woman is great, but 30 minutes later you're horny again.

Originally posted by helosailor View PostI think I know the picture you're talking about. We used one from the AF in our tire safety training. The guy was inflating the tire straight off of the nitrogen bottle, and ended up stuffed under a nearby power cart after the tire exploded.I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.
