Dammed,and here i was so pleased with my self for using good punctuation. -
It's easy, USE shop safety! When I used to work at Ryyyyyyder, I wore safety googles, hearing protection, placed the tire in the cage with clip on air chuck and had a regulator sending air pressure to the tire while I was a distance away.
I see too many morons standing next to a tire inflating it. They put themselves and others at risk. -
this happen here too , at first they thought a welder got too close too a truck fuel tank and got the vapors , but as turn out , the true story is they were fixing tires with no cage at all and blew out the whole east wall of the peterbuilt dealer here, i went out too look at it, what a mess, looks like a missile hit it , 2x4 everywere, insulation , part of the roof flapping in the breeze, they said nobody got hurt, but it shutdown the place for awhile

100 pounds of pressure per every square inch of the tires surface equals a heck of a lot of energy being released when that tire blows....

Now y'all know how I feel when I rip one. You should see my seat or what's left of it.
Everett, Semi Crazy and jacksd3 Thank this. -
When I worked for Goodyear some 30 yrs ago, we had a picture on the wall of a ring from a 3 pc wheel that had cut a man in two and had literally embedded itself half way into a concrete block wall of the shop.

I pulled onto a job site years ago and unchained my load and was being unloaded by a front end loader when a tire on my trailer exploded, fortunately I was on the other side of the trailer gathering my chains but it scared the ###### out of me and the loader operator and these tires where 1 week old retreads.
