The tongue action seals the deal
Worked my way through college managing a service station across from a large truck stop. Saw at least two broken arms in the three years I managed the station. Once mounted they are stable enough. However, if not set up perfectly when mounting a tire or repairing a flat, they will explode just as shown int he short video clip. The force is quite destructive. These days, I wear safety glasses and give respect even when inflating bicycle tires.
(Caveat, my time trial bike‘s racing tires are rated to 170 PSI though I normally inflate them to 120-140 depending on the smoothness of the road. I have had tires that are rated for 220 PSI The things are damned expensive too, often costing as much as a 17 -18 inch truck tire). Neat thing about my TT’s bikes tires, they are Tubular. They have the tube sewn up inside the tire. You can and need to fully inflate them prior to mounting, to stretch them out. Installation is a whole nother task
I told you not to film me when I’m playing Mom Invader!
Worked in a shop when that happened . The wheel was out of the cage and the split section was up. The ring went through the roof and landed in the street out front. We were lucky, no injuries occurred.

Seen one death from Split-Rim Blown out . I was on scaffolding working on a wall when a smaller size Euclid pulls up about 50 yard behind us with a Full Load and stops. One of that excavation crew laborers ( just a young kid ) runs up with an air hose and starts filling a low tire. That was it, it just laid him out right there in the dirt.
Was I the only one waiting for a tit to pop out??
I guess I've played RR a few times, long ago. At the time I never heard of a tire cage.
