This story reminded me of a tire cage that I had built that saved a tire man from serious injury, 4 days after it was built. A multi piece rim, tube type tire assembly, 10 x 20, Truck tire, weighing almost 170 lbs exploded. The reason for failure was the multi piece rim components were inadvertently mismatched. The tire cage had the same bowed result due to the tire explosion, as depicted in the Branick photo's.

I changed tires around 1972 at a garage I worked at. Car tires,truck tires and semi tires. We used these cages on semi tires only because of the split rims. Good thing we did.

[@actionjksn]

I started in the tire business when I was 17 in the early 80s. I did it for about 10 years and did car tires and semi tires with split rims included we never had a cage. Some of those things made me nervous I'm not going to lie. We were very careful with how we did it though and fortunately no-one got hurt. Back in the day we did things that were a lot more dangerous than today. I would not do a split rim without a cage now. One guy I work with was tearing up a passenger tire mounted on a Coats 40-40 tire changer and the tire blew up and blew his sleeve off his shirt. He was not even injured which is kind of miraculous. On those semi tires blowing up a lot of times it's someone not knowing what they're doing, or just not paying attention and doing one wrong.

[@petesmith5092]

Sometimes paying too much attention to the wrong thing can be your doom like not inspecting the split ring itself and the groove that it sits in closely enough. They both must be clean squarely cut and no damage no Nicks! I've seen big truck tires Bend the crap out of a cage! Now those Earthmover tires, those are beasts oh, I've seen one of those tear the cage up off of the floor, proceed to mangle it, and knock a hole in the roof of the building! Everyone's hair was blown back behind that one. All I can say is it's a good thing it was chained to the cage! One guy turned white as a sheet and had to go home. He was a bundle of nerves for a whole week

[@RowdyEnt.]

Why did the passenger tire blow up? Over inflated?

[@turboslag]

I'll add another piece of advice. Don't stand near the driven wheels of a car being dyno tested! I had noticed tyre deformation on cars being run at a few dyno days, so I made sure I wasn't near the driven wheels after that. Then at one dyno day a tyre exploded and the guy standing right alongside it had his leg broken and ripped open! He was a mess. Other people were cut by flying debris.

He stayed with it attempting to remove the hose while it continued pressurizing and BOOM ! the tire blew apart shooting some 30ft into the air (rim and all) while knocking him back about 20ft . Two fingers and his wrist bones were never found again . Surgeons managed to save the arm and 3 fingers but they are unusable .

Since they didn't have a working compressor he drove it to a local "self-serve" truck gas station .

[@arthurgarcia4389]

I'm a Tire Tech at American Tire Depot and having a tire blow up while inflating is what I fear someday will happen. I mount and dismount new tires and used ones several times a day I work on at least 80 tires. the new tires I don't really worry about exploding except for those new tires that won't easily sit bead over the rim. I've had to go up to 80psi on some tires for the bead to finally sit. the used tire are alot more sketchy. we don't sell used tires but we do patches on them. Sometimes while inflating you could hear the tire stretching I'm guessing it's the plys or cord that hold the tire together, that noise I hear is those part failing and ripping apart. I'm not a pussy, but I would like to have a cage. Unfortunately my work doesn't supply us with a cage. it amazes me that tire shops or any shop that deals with inflating a tire that they aren't required by law to have a cage for workers safety. I'll get written up for not having slip resistant boots. but it's ok if I inflate a tire and it blows up and I'm killed because the rim flew straight towards my head. but God forbid I'm without my boots and I slip and break a bone or fracture something. yes I know a slip or fall can lead to a alot more serious injury or even death. but I've fallen before at work and got right up without a scratch the worst been cuts, bruises. I want one of these at my shop. not just for my safety but that of my coworkers. every single one of those guys risk not coming home to their family all could of been prevented had my work supplied the shop with a safety cage. I hope I can get one soon. if I can't pay for one all at once I hope the either Snap On, Cornwell or Myers could sell me one and let me do payments on it.

+Devin Williams Tire grease? well no we use another type of lubricant called SLIP TAC we get it from Myers. but no the stretching I hear from the tires is herd almost instantly, I have no more than 20 psi when the noise starts. no way would I ever go up to 80 to sit the tire on a beat up used tire fuck that. I have though gone way past 80psi on new stubborn tires mostly run flats or tires wider than the rim cuz the dumbass customer likes the look, idiots man.

You're story is nothing more than survivor bias. As in, because you've survived anything from going wrong, then it must be down to common sense.

An engineer was then wishing to invest in protecting those areas. It wasn't until another engineer said "why reinforce these areas, its the areas we don't see that need reinforcing as the plane has gone down and not returned" It's another reason you see a lot of people claiming seat belts aren't necessary and back I'm my day we didn't crash. They did, just those who died couldn't say how important it was.

In those days we did see people get hurt, but I feel we learned from it rather than have a nanny state where people blindly follow certain rules, but still don't learn.

[@BMWE-hm7uz]

@rupe53 it's actually funny you say about ppe and people getting hurt. To continue the story about ww1 and ww2, and hopefully not to bore you too much, the amount of people coming back to the medical centres with head injuries was low. Until helmets, mainly created from China were introduced to the ranks. Then the amount of head injuries increased and the soldiers then used to refuse to wear the helmet, their ppe, because the stats proved they caused injury. In fact, it was perhaps not so clearly the opposite, the fact people were coming back with head injuries, showed they survived the blast, the bullet, the fall or whatever the mechanism of injury was. But the difference on the surface wasn't they were coming back, it was the introduction of the helmet that made the head injuries rise. I think we are seeing more injuries in workshops and other dangerous environments because of this. People are able to get to hospital and the injury recorded, instead of recorded as death.

Exploding tires shown in this video are split rims. I ran a tire store for 3 years and never had an exploding tire, mostly because we didn't do split rims. mounting a tire on a split rim is like setting a rat trap. There is a ring which goes around the larger part of the rim, and it has to be mounted just right. Guys told me about split rims exploding (without a cage) which sent the ring flying across a neighboring river and embedded itself in a tree. They couldn't pry it loose. Couldn't pay me enough to mess with split rims.

Two-piece truck wheels (e.g., "split rims") are much more dangerous than single-piece ones.

[@1575murray]

That may be true but even mounting modern tubeless tires on one piece wheels can be dangerous if is not done properly. The mounted tire and wheel should be enclosed in a safety cage when inflating and proper inflation limits should be observed. The two piece wheels with locking rings are still around on a lot of older trucks and buses and need to be treated with extreme respect to avoid property damage and/or personal injury.

I thought that the only dangerous wheels were the split rim ones, you could also overinflate a one piece wheel too but that is operator error and training should solve that problem especially with a tire inflator that limits the pressure.

[@ozzytagg]

i've seen a split rim go scared me to hell

[@ShuRugal]

@branickindustries - do you have any videos of a tire exploding on a table with the rim clamps engaged? When I worked in my father's garage, that was all we used. Wondering now how much I was playing with fire.

[@trainman071]

A branick tire cage saved a friends life thank you Branick you are the best you can't put a price tag on safety well worth the money spent on this video

[@tregforsyth1969]

I remember a truck tire shop in the Yukon I used to work at, it had one hell of a nasty rim/tire, dent and mark in the ceiling, that ceiling must have been 25-30 ft high, if someone would have been standing over that tire or had their arm in there they would have been a splat mark up there too.

[@yz8302]

Absolutely a safety device and every tire shop should have it.

[@lawnmoose]

EVERY SHOP NEEDS THIS!!

[@tdgreenbay]

Every shop I've worked for had a cage except 1.... I've inflated both split rims and regular truck tires

[@dmx71234]

Very professionally done.

[@Razor_36]

Been working on semis in the same shop for 13 years now. I can't stress it enough no matter how strong the cage is, standing next to it is never a good idea. 110 psi will cut you in half but the new kids think it's a joke. I promise it's not. Don't be stupid.

[@uarbor70]

A safety device that saves time? Now that is something

[@Nivicoman]

How many "bosses" would think along the lines of "a cage ain't gonna keep a tire from blowing up. If it's gonna go it's gonna go"! I've known people that think of fuses as completely unneeded "A fuse ain't gonna keep nothin' from shortin' out!" It never ceases to amaze me how many people think that way instead of the safety aspect.

[@dirtyMopar]

Everybody is talking about the dangers of split rims and that’s true they can be a real disaster. But the thing is normal car tires can also be a serious problem if they zipper. Friend who owned a garage has a bum arm for life due to a zipper failure of a car tire. Not a rim issue but the tire itself. This was a major brand tire and they paid out heavily. Cages are good for everything. Well worth the time for me. Use a remote fill also so you are away from it.

[@davidwilder7109]

Only time I've ever really seen the need for a cage is on split rims. Never seen a rim fail like that before. Usually the tire fails, generally from way over inflation.

[@xrz1138]

Thank you for taking the time!

[@scrappyny7432]

This reminds me of my predicament. I have a work truck with tires rated for 80psi. I have always inflated to this but tire shops always refuse to saying that they dont need that much pressure. I dont get it why would the manufacturer put 80 psi and installers ignore it?

[@CVD-di1xn]

This is a great video. Job well done.

[@Hi.Im.Andrew]

Wow, over 6! like 7?

[@noeeon9910]

This isn't going to happen with regular car tires at 35psi. These are for professions where you fill tires very quickly with high pressure hoses. Fear stems from The lack of understanding.

[@franklinasbury4038]

I change tires on big rigs for a living at Loves. A lot of guys won't use cages while on roadcalls, wish they would but they'll find out one day. Always use a cage!

[@Christopher24311]

Would love to hear what they sounded like before rupture

[@timestes7090]

So true, back years ago I had one let go. It scared the ---- out of me, luckily no one got hurt. Firm believer in them.

[@dailylifewithsteve4460]

Damn those cages bend like cans but there build like tanks that shows you how much force is used

[@derrickhokit]

Thanks for letting us know details of your marketing budget. We were all curious if it cost A lot 🤦‍♂️

[@alisonwilliams4862]

I always worry about this happening when filling my tyres up at the garage when you have to approach them to take the hose out!

[@Joester1908]

thats true. most incidents at shops seem to be operator error....like racking a car wrong, not paying attention, or not checking for tire damage/max PSI. I know accidents happen and the tire exploding is something i think about every day at work. But you can never be too safe

[@joedotphp]

I used to work at Pomp's and in our warehouse in one of the storage lockers, a large tire exploded and it sounded like a flippin bomb. Probably even louder than a bomb.

[@StrongLikeBullTV]

I just don’t want to crowd my shop with a cage. I have to change tires on my dump truck once or twice a year

[@johnnymnemonic69]

Famous last words

[@johneckert1365]

I keep my cage outside so it doesn't take up shop space. Bought a nice used one cheap at an auction

[@jamesroberts2115]

Worked in a service station as a teenager in the late 1960's and fixed a hundred flats on cars and trucks. No one told us about the dangers that working with tires were. Don't think the owner knew either. Fixed 'em all though at $1.00 an hour pay.

[@ThePlayerToBeNamedLater]

Compressed air is deadly when released uncontrolled. I will work on hydraulics any day rather than pneumatics

[@neilbreen9041]

Hydraulic oil injection is no joke either.

[@MileyonDisney]

Looks like the cages are only good for one explosion.

[@xophaser]

guessing mostly for split rim tires, can happen to any type

[@brianlopez8196]

I don’t believe it’s would be faster with a cage but it would definitely be worth I’ve never had this happen to me or seen it but the tire looked like it blew that rim like a cannon

[@ApolloVIIIYouAreGoForTLI]

So what happens when the tyre fails while being refitted?

[@arcanask]

Just noticed the safety glasses on the presenter. Nice.

[@reptaloid]

My name Jeff Branick my great-grandfather used to own that business I wish he never sold it I'd be there working today

[@Jbmc65]

Can tires and rims blow up when they are just being changed for passenger vehicle use? I am 58, I have never seen a shop use a cage when filling tires after installing them. I was just thinking about getting all new tires for my truck. Even if they do use cages to inflate they have to add some air in order to get the tire to seat on the rim, Ali realize it’s usually only about 10-15 psi.

[@epicman3150]

damn I'm getting a cage.

[@seanorourke7397]

Are the trucks with dual wheel's dangerous also on tow trucks or pick up trucks?

[@kniefi]

wait a second, should I be concerned now regularly checking and increasing the pressure of my car's tires manually ?!😅

[@oby-1607]

We used to have a Jeep Cherokee. The spare tire was stored in the passenger area behind the seats. One hot day that tire exploded, tearing the belts and tread outward. The tire was like new and never used. Luckily no one was hurt by this. After we never carried a spare in the Jeep again. Things do happen.

[@hugejohnson5011]

Holy Jesus, how frigging hot did it get in there, and how much air pressure was in the tire? Are you certain that there was no "Fix A Flat" inside of it? Some of that crap is flammable!

[@oby-1607]

@@hugejohnson5011 Hey, tire pressure was normal for a spare. 30 psi. No "Fix a Flat". Our temperatures here can get regularly up to 110-115 degrees F.

[@hugejohnson5011]

@@oby-1607 110°F or 115°F outside would heat that Cherokee's interior as hot as an oven! Still, it surprises me that an unloaded, stationary, like new tire would just explode. Weird things happen every day somewhere! I'm glad that you didn't get caught up in the damage, and lived to tell the cautionary tale! Cheers!

[@dwayne601]

Only watched for the explosions!
