- 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...

Never underestimate anything under high pressure. It will fuck you up if you get in it's way.
Making people aware of tire safety can save lives and prevent injuries. Thank you.
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
Damn. I work around Volvo trucks and I always feel nervous filling up tires to 100-120 psi. We don't even have a tire cage.
That's a horror movie
Your English is fairly good.
I feel a bit nervous filling my normal car tires to 35 psi. They can explode if damaged.
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.
You were lucky, I had a 295/80x22.5 Conti go bang @80psi in the depot and while on site a split rim 750x16 on a Tuffnells trailer let go, both of which were being inflated in safety cages at the time they went off and each one resulted in painfull ruptured eardrums, instant deafness is not something I'd wish any fitter to experience.
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
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!
1:01 is barney from the simpsons burping in slow motion
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.
I even cry when balloons pop.
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.
*Truck-kun wants to know your location*
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.
mate, you are lucky/unlucky as fuck
These Super Singles are the most dangerous of all tyres - got frightened to death by one blowing up at work.
10-15 years ago we used to change these tyres without any safety protection or anything out in the open air.
Min.safety reqt..A cage and a long airline.
This happened to me 5 days ago. I'm still picking rocks and debris from my face.
ah that must've been hurt
Sorry to hear that mate!
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.
You guys didn't even get the tip of ice burg. I had a drive tire blow at 85 M.P.H. It took off 1/2 of the front of my trailer and all of the air lines and hoses. Plus warped the frame rails for the flooring of the flat bed trailer. I've seen them go through windshields of nearby cars too. And there's more.
what is the point in disliking this video
Ya
Standing out. It's pathetic really.
My step father used to be a School Bus Contractor in Howard County MD, which he owned 45 Buses, and one day a Buss came in that had a flat on the inter rear tire, which they pulled off in put air in, well, I was outside of the Garage and was walking by the tire and I heard it making a popping noise, so I told that the tire was making a popping noise and they should not go out there near it because it sounds like it's going to explode. So then my step father told me to go out and let the air out of the tire, I said I'm not going out there near that tire, so I walked up to the garage door window and was looking at the tire, I heard my step father say, God damn it, I'll do it then, and all of a sudden I seen my Uncle go up to the tire and he started letting the air out it, I turned away a second and all of a sudden I heard a loud explosion and then a loud bang against the aluminum garage door, a when I turned my head back around to look out the garage door window come and see my uncle standing out near the tire anymore, so I walked outside the garage door and noticed him laying on the ground in front of the door, which he was knocked backwards against the door knocking him unconscious. The tire had exploded knocking him backwards into the garage door, and the force of the explosion was so great that it threw him backwards and putting a big dent into the aluminum door which he was knocked unconscious. he was unconscious from 12 o'clock that afternoon until 7 o'clock at night. The explosion had caused him to bite his tongue and had knocked out one or two of his teeth, which was blood was coming from his mouth, so at first we weren't sure if he had internal bleeding or not, so we had to call an ambulance to come get him, but he wound up having to go in shock trauma medevac. School Bus tires are about the same size as a Tractor tire.
Late boss of mine had that happen to him. Blew his ball cap off his head and behind the filthy shop refrigerator. After he returned from the hospital with his right forearm in a cast, he searched unsuccessfully for his old, greasy hat. Pissed. He couldn't find it. I found one and put a tack through the top, put the hat on a broom handle and tacked it above the tire machine on the ceiling. "Phil! I found your hat!" He came scampering out of the office and said: "Where"" I pointed to the ceiling and said: "Up there!" He looked and said" That's not my fucking hat, asshole!" His son and I laughed so hard we almost pissed ourselves! What a classic "Phil" moment from Eagle Point Garage in Eagle Point, Oregon, circa 1988.
Had a good chuckle.
Chris Jacobs lol
So in this story everyone is an idiot but you lol.
David I do
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.
What they're showing and talking about I know of as a Zipper Rupture. Had one of those on my truck a couple days ago as I was driving on the road. Thankfully it was a trailer tire and the inside wall of the inside tire ruptured. Sounds like a shotgun going off when they let go.
First slow motion ive seen bravo
My bike tire blew up that was very loud so can only imagine what thus must be like!
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.
Do you know what wind speed the 12 tonnes of force releases?
I am conducting a test next week of a tyre this size releasing pressure 120psi and I'm looking at trying to measure the force exerted at the point of failure as well as 2 and 5 meters away. I thought wind speed would be the easiest way to measure this but am not sure on what the range would be. Eg. 0 to 150km/hr or 0 to 250km/hr.
What language this guy was speaking
scottish?
bertyisaustin English with British accent or properly said "British English" ;)
+Triplex5014 Or just plain English with a west-central Scotland accent. Not "British English" just English.
bertyisaustin He was 😭trying to speak English though. He had 🍋lemon in his 👄mouth???
I work as a mechanic and one thing i hate about tires is: On the sidewall it will tell you " never exceed 44PSI when mounting the tire on the rim "
half of the time on low profile tires, i am at 90-100PSI for the tire to seat the rim, all scared and sweating and shit, hoping it won't explode. Literally twice the pressure. How do they expect the tire to seat onto the rim with only 44PSI, when it barely seats with 80PSI
My solution to that is to stand the fuck back, and remove the valve core the second both beads are seated.
I know man. All low profile tires I've done pop in place at fucking 90psi
MaxTheKanuck that’s exactly what I’ve had to do before. Hell I had to do it today lol
Um get an inflation cage and stand back? I hate tires as well...
sranjesuper i agree partner
If you ever see a big truck tire explode, it is very forceful. Usually can be heard a long ways away. Of the ones I have heard, it sounds like a shotgun going off. There are videos on youtube catching tire explosions on big trucks. One rips off the trailer bumper and hurls it across the interstate.
fascinating info, glad to Mr Strang is on top of safety and he is cute too
I got very lucky today putting air in a tire on a land rover it had sidewall damage I didn’t see and it exploded at 30 psi was still enough to severely bruise my shoulder
do you have an English translation for that first guy?
"It's veri skeri"
PlayStationGamingTime
Accent sounds lika shit haha
Very hairy 🤔 sk is silent
CHANAKYA SINHA haha yeah
Indian and pakistani english accents are the most hilarious!
Инко Н.О st least they can speak fluently not like Asian people lolzz
Lol rapid readjustment of pressure...big bang !
I've been next to a flatbed hauling lumber when it blew a tire... sounded like a cannon and had to almost clean out my shorts..
i have a diving cyclinder that fills up to 12L 300 bar or 4500 psi of air i wonder what the equivalent being hit by is with that
1:03 BBBUUURRRRRRRPPPP!
I went from ERW energy return wheel to dragster tire shaking in slo-mo to this and now im off to the gym.
Go to a heavy truck tire repair shop., look up at the ceiling and ask why there’s a big dent in the ceiling
is it more or less likely for standing wave to occur on a tyre that has slightly lower pressure?
Chances are the same
Peter me auld mate, Alan fae Raynesway in Bellshill, didn't realise you were a film star.
Just me or up close does it look like the tyres are vaping?
If you can avoid it, don't drive behind a truck in the summer time. Truck tire explosions are frequent in the US.
dontaskme Behind them isn't a problem as blowouts usually happen through the tirewall but, you should avoid driving next to them regardless of the season and especially on the highway traveling at higher speeds. If a blowout occurs on the steer tires, they're going to lose control of that truck and you don't want to be next to them when that happens. Former long haul truck driver here speaking from experience.
dontaskme Soon as it warms up you see significantly more tire scraps from tractor trailers on highways... I see em all the time
The force has been clocked at over 100 mph. It will take off an arm or leg at close range.
+Tanner Phoenix or an head..
+Tanner Phoenix Why aren't we dropping tyres on ISIS ??
+SiliconBong might work :D
Took off two guys heads in Ghana(warning graphic) www.nairaland.com/3593579/two-killed-tyre-explosion-ghana
100 doesn't seem very fast too me. Going down the freeway at 80 mph sticking my arm out the window doesn't rip my arm off not even close. I don't see how an extra 20 mph will do any harm.
we call that a zipper blow out to much air or driven on very low air pressure witch brakes the sidewall down
1:00 your pants when you can't hold it in any longer.
Hahaha lol
Hahahah! I love a good fart joke ;)
LOL I fell off the chair :P
volcano blown up.
lol
What's the white cloud that comes out once the tire pops?
Water vapor
Force equivalent of 12 tonnes. Guess they mean tire pressure and that's force per area.
O pneu já tinha sido preparado para estourar em uma serta região
One of my trailer tires nearly took my leg off once.
I don't think that does justice to how violent tIre explosions can be.
this should be mandatory on driving tests
You definitely have to be careful never stand in front of one when airing them up I always put the air chuck on it and stand back at least 10 feet and always keep an eye on your sidewalls if there's any bulge at all don't risk it it's not fun when they do blow I went deaf in one ear for almost two days
The more you know 💫
1:05 Me at the glory-hole!
The slow motion footage gave me the need to yawn
I had a regular suv tire explode 5 inches away from my face. Side wall rupture. Nothing happens. Just a nice blast of air and it gave me a fro. No injuries.
cgminds M 30-50psi versus 100-120psi. A truck tire has a much greater volume compressed to a much higher pressure, and yes it can severely injure or kill you.
cgminds M At least a pussy can take a good beating. One little kick and a man is crying like a baby.
At 1:00 the tire was like "toomuchpressure...FUUUUUUUUUUUUU**!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Every tyre is a potential bomb.
Some of the 3 piece wheels are called widow makers for a reason.
My company no longer repair these types of wheels.
One life stay safe .
Tyre fitters dont get the credit we deserve.!!!!!!!!!
01:04 LOL LMAO face!!!!!!!!!!
I survived one ! couldnt open my eyes for 4 days and any kind of light hurted badly after 10 days working with sunglasses in winter :p
"Readjustment of pressure" yeah
Now, imagine this in your side!
Ouch!
In Pakistan and India when a tire blows up like that they take it back to the shop and it's a retread put back on good as new
1:16 *when your dad sneezes*
A guy where i work got hit by the tread from a recap fucked him up badly
Wow that's loud, I could probably use this to defeat my enemy 'that can turn solid object into a liquid so that he can go underground and listen to my footstep' by exploding a car tire next to his ear to damage his eardrums.
excuse me what
@@midlanismail416Gus went to Casa Tranquila to torment Hector on a regular basis, if Hector was sent to talk to the DEA, Walter knew Gus would stop by to visit him to either kill/harass him. Sure enough, after Hector returned from his visit to the DEA Gus and his men flocked to Casa Tranquila giving Walter the perfect opportunity to rig Hector’s wheelchair with a bomb/microphone. Once gus showed up and was about to kill Hector, Hector gave the signal and Walter detonated the bomb Killing Gus, Hector and Tyrus, no more gus, Walter wins the face off!
1:01 me after dinner.
My one fear when I pump my tires up.
The same goes for football, basketball, etc.
Snap go boom
1:00 "I NEED TO QUEEF!!!!"
This must be how my toilet feels in the morning.
Someone i know had just got 3kg out of 7 when it blew. He´s glasses flew away, he got thrown to the floor. That was just 3kg...
well that's what happened! he should have been using pounds per square inch! those kg thingies will kill ya ever time!
Now, let’s show what happened to a tire that WAS NOT structurally compromised when it explodes like the ones in this video.
the top of the tire at 1:20 the hole looks like a sad face
You can actually work out the stored energy in a tyre and compare it to an explosive. Definitely enough to kill you.
1:02 aliens DO exist
every word he says is true
1:06 Looks like a sneezing tire...
thanks I understand hillbilly English only but I like what I saw gave you a thumbs up please return the favor almost let a tire get me once .
i always thought that it was the "shrapnel that injured or killed people, but i guess it's the sudden release of air pressure.
mjt11860 It can be both. We lost a guy at one shop to a pressure gauge that was blown of an exploding tire and went straight through his skull. Tire cage didn't help cause it was so small. Another guy a year or so later got knocked on his ass and broke his arm.
NikitaDarkstar man that's brutal. another way a truck tire can kill is when it comes loose while the truck is rolling down the freeway. from now on, i'll b even more careful around them. thanx 4 the info.
mjt11860
That's usually a good idea anyway, more often than not drivers don't even know they have a tire going flat if it's on the trailer, it's too far back to be heard, and with 2 tires on each side of the axle they don't really feel it either. But really, hanging out around trucks is just an overall bad idea no matter what. They got blindspots big enough for you to completely disappear in, they got a brake distance of a football field if going highway speeds, and needless to say you will lose if they come over on you. Either hang back far enough that you can see the trucks mirrors (then, in general the driver can see that you're behind him), or pass and move on. Keeps you safe from tires blowing out, and from the truck in general. (Really the things don't get nearly the respect they deserve on the roads...)
NikitaDarkstar true. i know cuz my dad was a long haul trucker. he claimed that long haul truckers were the best drivers on the road.
mjt11860
Honestly, I'm inclined to believe him, those things aren't easy to drive, and the shit you can get into if you're involved in anything if you have a CDL? Yhea, you better be good. Even if mechanics are prone to calling drivers all sorts of names from time to time... But safest drivers on the road? Oh yhea, I'll give them that any day. Just the laws of physics makes me not like the idea of hanging out around them, that's all. :p
You spelled (tyre) wrong
when i was on highway driving my dad said to pass a truck ,cause if a tyre exploded would be super dangerous.
Tyre exploded 20 seconds later and tyre was free rolling alone ,i would have broken the car's glass :O
Getting hit by a truck is a lot more than 12 tons of force.
No tires was harmed in the making of this video
only camcorders.
Guys, in a nascar race I went to, this happened. Check out the video on my channel. It's call Paul mernard homestead.
NO!!!
This is what u call a zipper rupture
Veri skerri if not follow za procija
1:02 like my old womans piss flaps
lol
pahaha
topmaneldo dammit man
topmaneldo 😂😂😂😂PISS FLAPS!
Tyre? Or Tire?
Santos Molina, In propper English tire means sleepy and tyre is the rubber outside attached to a rim
Tyre ( UK english )
Tire ( US english )
sounds just like a zipper being undone...if you're inflating a tyre and you hear that sound...fucking _run_
@1:00 to 1:07 it looked like Barack Obama close up of him giving a speech
tiredowalkin 😦🙄REALLY ! * ?
LMAO well said
1:00 that tire looks like it's delivering a birth.
I don't think so.
i had a date like that once! 6218
So it is like being hit by a truck going 1mph right or is it a truck going 55mph? I'm so fucking confused.
james. He just means it's like getting hit by 12 tons of force, which would be like getting hit by a car traveling about 35 miles per hour, or being hit really hard with a sledgehammer!
1:00 omg like a human spoke breath
Now these folks can have a tire blow-out sale!
Umm, is there a Celtic translater in the house? LOL!
Its like "Phewwwww" ....that was Hot ,,,,
Rapid air loss
There is a video of a guy knifing a big rig tire. The force of the air is so great it blows him around backwards and he lands on his face 5 feet away. Oh yeah. It also strips his shirt off him like magic. One second he is wearing a shirt. Next second he is face down and shirtless.
