Wheelbarrel wheel explosion, GRAPHIC WARNING

Holy crap! Seeing that makes me sick to my stomach. I'm glad he's going to be allright. It's a good thing it hit him in his rock hard belly and not higher OR lower. Hopefully his arm will be alright and he'll be back to work real soon, showing off his cool scar...

 

I worked with wheels and tires for 5 yrs. We didn't have one but I have been inside tire shops that had inflation cages but the guys were usually too lazy to use them unless they were working with old Bud-type split rims. But that was before we had Chinese trailer rims !

 

Very nasty , its the same here ,cheap crap ,but everyones buying it .

 

Wow! Yes it could have been worse but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Damn cheap crap. I’m glad your friend will be OK. I sent you a PM.

Or, in your best Tony Montana (Scarface) voice:

"You think you can get a scar like this eating pu$$y?"!

 

Sorry about your friend. Its a good warning for the rest of us.
I have quite a few small tire thingies, dollie, wheelbarrow, flat cart, offroad engine hoist, etc. I got fed up with airing them up, changing tubes, etc. I tried that green tire slime, no real help. Ended up filling the tires with triple expansion "Good Stuff" Foam. I move some heavy crap around with no problems.
