A car tire was "safety tested" to the point of failure with 150 psi.
Also, the force of the explosion demonstrates why it is important to keep proper maintenance on rolling rubber.
Com: Bruce : ABSOLUTELY STUPID VIDEO. This was not a "safety test." This was a guy making a video to somehow feel important.
There is NO scientific data. No analytics. No testing. No evidentiary gauging. No nothing but talk, and opinion..
Com: Andrew : I did this at home,was not a problem.
We were long way away behind a building watching it on video. Was so funny we ended up doing three of them!
Com: Gordo : Fill the tyres first with water then inflate - it will drastically reduce the "explosive" affect as far as noise is concerned, but be more impressive visualy - use some red vegetable colouring for bonus!
Com: Beards: I had a good friend loose half his face ...when he accidentally left his air hose connected like this while talking to a customer..
as he remembered to check the tire it blew fire as he was trying to unhook the hose sending the rim that blew apart with tire through his face and out the roof of his building...
needless to say this is not very smart.. from what I have seen it can do to someone..
