The Dangers of Heavy Tyre Explosions

- This video footage was captured by ATS Euromaster to show the catastrophic effects of inflating a truck tyre which has previously suffered run-flat damage. It forms part of an internal training DVD being used to reinforce the safe methods of operation which must be followed with all truck, earthmover and agricultural tyres. The footage also serves as a timely reminder of why tyres should be serviced by professional tyre technicians. www.atseuromaster.co.uk/busine...
yesterday i was in a tire workshop and a guy was inflating a truck tire, like the one in the video, when i turned around i heard a loud blast, i came to see the guy knocked back at least 2 meters and his leg was all broken, i could see his tibia bone out of his leg and he was in shock, later the people around took him to a hospital... but it was crazy, there was a lot of blood and that how i got here , didn't know how dangerous a tire could be... careful everyone and sorry for bad english
I worked as a Commercial/HGV Tyre Fitter for ATS at Bexley Heath in the Summer of 1976. Conscious of the dangers of compressed air, I always tried to follow safe procedure by putting the tyre in the cage when actioning tyre inflation. The branch manager had other ideas. Many times I was pressured not to bother with the cage and often felt quite intimidated and threatened when I tried to follow safety procedure. I felt sufficiently intimidated that I didn't dare go against his orders. Things came to a head one day when I was trying to remove a fork lift tyre and the pressure was on me to get the job done quickly, In desperation I tried blowing the bead off after the locking ring and flange was removed. The inflation pressure shot up to 100 psi and the tyre flew off and I was blown backward. My works mates heard the blast and came rushing round to see if I was ok, I was shaken but ok. The branch manager had a guilty but unconcerned look on his face. I resigned next day. I should have reported my concerns to ATS but felt to afraid to do so.
This happened to me 5 days ago. I'm still picking rocks and debris from my face.
The slow motion footage gave me the need to yawn
Well obviously they are truck tires. Not car tires.
I worked for ATS in Beverley Yorkshire, UK for over 5 years. I achieved my City and Guilds Certification with them and I worked on anything from 400x8 wheelbarrow tyres upto solids and 48.5x45 Earthmover tyres. We NEVER had any form of accident at the Beverley Depot because we all knew the risks involved. We did have tyre explosions yes, but never an injury. I myself had a 48 inch Agricultural Tyre fail during inflation but because I used a safety cage and the correct procedures, I was not injured apart from a little temporary deafness due to the sound of the explosion. Safe work practices save lives. NEVER take risks , It's not worth the extra seconds you might gain.
Making people aware of tire safety can save lives and prevent injuries. Thank you.
I was overtaking a semi truck last year on the highway, when the side wall of one of his tires blew, literally, right beside us. From the corner of my eye, I saw the gasses escaping beside the passenger window. Thankfully there was no damage, but my mother, who was quietly reading a book, almost jumped through the roof of the car.
this should be mandatory on driving tests
My dads hand got crushed about 20 years ago when a rim seal ring went flying from exploded tire of an older truck. New trucks rims are one piece, older trucks rims were in 3 pieces. Those who know understand what Im talking about. My dad is doing great today, doctors were able to put his hand together! Thank God!
Never underestimate anything under high pressure. It will fuck you up if you get in it's way.
I've had this happen to me, the sound is like water from the bead set, and unlike the video there was no appearance of the wall starting to rip. It exploaded right after I rolled it up on a rack. Pushed every tire down the rack and blew all the insulation off the wall. I lost my hearing and just watched the insulation fall like large flakes of snow and was extremely surprised.
in the wheel. 85psi and me and my grandad got a loud BANG in our ears today. My ears are ringing 5 hours later and My head it throbbing

These Super Singles are the most dangerous of all tyres - got frightened to death by one blowing up at work.
Thank you for the graphic of a man experiencing what it's like to be hit by a truck. In crediting me with having no imagination at all and lacking the sense I was born with, you have helped me become a more lorry aware and HGV sensitive human being. Thank you.
I was pulling a fully loaded flatbed trailer down I-10 near Luling, Tx on a sweltering summer day. There was a Mustang following a little too close with another big truck behind him. My left inside tandem blew and snapped off the mudflap. I saw the mudflap sail over the car like a magic carpet. I got onto the CB and told the truck driver following him, "I swear I saw that Mustang driver's eyes pop out of his head." I pulled over and checked it out. There was nothing left but the sidewalls. Never follow too close to a semi. I lost 3 recaps that summer. We kept telling corporate that the company doing the recapping were doing a crappy job. They finally listened to us and stopped buying from that company. No more problems after that.
where was the microphone that picked up the popping sound of the breaking ply? camera distance? I'm wondering how far away you can hear the pops.
As the video was used to drill home the message of having a tire cage when they insist large tires should be left in the hands of tire shops when slow motion video of those noticing a bulge within the sidewall not before the sidewall opened up like a zipper with enough force to knock the person several feet away from the tire as they also have been reportedly KO from the blast.
First slow motion ive seen bravo
