Does this guy sitting on an overinflated tire take the ride or what?

the air hose went flying towards the camera, so i am guessing he went on top of wherever that camera was mounted.
 
Father had a worker break a split-ring without removing the valve, assuming all the air was gone. He was standing inside the rim. Threw him up in the rafters of a mule barn. Local garage worker inflated a RV tire laying flat on the ground, ringside up. Took his face off. If I didn't use a cage I knew father would kill me if the tire didn't.
 
the next fun ride attraction for socialists well at least they would have some purpose in there lives and when they cry you would know why they are crying that's going to leave a mark or the perfect way to return illegals over the wall if it ever gets finished I was thinking about a trebuchet but that tire would work just need 40+ million of them .

You can see the wear ring on the tire from being run flat. That tire should’ve never been inflated. Looks like a standard 22.5 steel rim.

If you ever have a tire that has a ring like that around it do not put air in it!!! Unless you like surprises

You see the tire come down 5-6 seconds later in the upper left but no Babu. Where is Babu? Show me Babu.

dude over this way was killed about 3 years back when one of those tires let loose and took his head smooth off. they called 9-1-1 but told them there was no hurry cause his head was on the other side of the shop.

Those split rings were on f250s in the 60's and early 70's. We had them on dump trucks in the 70's.
Never had one go off but the old timers all had their stories. Even in cages getting aired up they were spooky.

Same here ... was working up on scaffolding and heard explosion behind me . I turned around and there a was a kid laid-out on the ground about 75 yard away .
smaller Euclid rolled up with a 'full load' . laborer/green kid runs out with air hose to fill a low tire . was Smaller Euclid Dump, but we are talking about a large tire , like 7 feet in height . While he was filling, the Split-Rim blew and took his head off .

Was that not him come running around the backside of that truck, sure looked like he come running around there missing a shoe, like the one that didn’t make the flight.
