    Split rim failure ! I've seen the investigators photos of a workshops death caused by similar ! The tyre was laid on the wksp's floor split rim upper most, it cut the operator in half and the split rim was found on the wksp's roof approximately 30 feet above floor level !

    That's a tame video ! The reality is much more graphic...

    Mmmmmmm, I suspect some fakery here. That’s not a split rim it’s a normal HGV rim, there’s nothing that drops in the (mickey mouse) cage as it “blows” and without seeing more of the vid that operator looks suspiciously still. What’s that black object that falls near the cap? It’s more likely a set up to show what can happen if you don’t do it right.

    (or have I completely missed the point :worried:)

    It's probably a propped up dummy - I just thought it was funny!

    Incidentally when I went on the tyre technical course at Michelin they did show us the aftermath of an actual incident where a split rim failed under inflation, it was not a pretty sight, nuff said o_O

    My first HGV driving job involved a Volvo F7 which had split rims on it. I was warned to keep well away from it when inflating its replacement tyres. I seem to remember that once they were over a certain pressure and the rim had 'settled' then they were okay to approach, but I will stand correction on that.
    Can't remember any other wagon with a split rim.
    But, an Eaton twin splitter gearbox? Now there's a nice piece of kit if you get trained on it properly. Mostly namby pamby automatics these days!

    I went on a safety train I g course at British Steel, got shown a set of photographs of actual accidents and injuries. Two of the lads excused themselves, went outside and lost their breakfast! There was some hideous injuries, lots of scalps ripped off by machines, long 70's hair and lathes, not a good combo.
