I saw a split rim/2-piece rim tire blow one time when I was in my early teens. My younger brother and I were repairing and mounting tires on the farm. Our dad always warned us about how dangerous split rim tires can be. My younger brother started filling the tire while it was lying on its side, and I told him to flip it over so the locking ring part was facing down in case something when wrong (we didn't have a cage or anything else to use, and we had a locking air chuck that allowed you to fill from a distance so we didn't have to hold it on there). A few moments later, the whole wheel assembly shot probably four feet into the air when the tube inside ruptured at the ring came flying off (we were lucky that it wasn't at full pressure when it happened). It scared the crap out of us and we learned a valuable lesson that day about how dangerous tires can be.
i just wanna say that who ever welded the pipes to the plate to build that steel framework did an excellent job under that force, the welds hold intact while the plate and pipes buckle
I want to tell more of this kind of injuries. About 20 years ago, My grandpa was inflating old trucks tire when that whole tire exploded and my grandpa flew to a wall, He broke his leg bone, arm bones, alot of bones from the hands , broke his chin from 3 places and also broke his skull :(, luckily he survived and I still have my grandpa :)
split rims are dangerous as hell. i worked at a trucking company as a mechanic prior to getting my other job. i was out washing trucks and i heard a big boom, almost like close thunder, when i went in the garage the cage was mangled and it ripped the anchors clean out of the concrete. thankfully the mechanic wasnt hurt.
2 and 3 piece rims still exist on some 4WD's as well as trucks and trust me I have witnessed a locking ring from one cut a neat hole in the wall of the tire shop when it went off. Even chained and in a cage I have seen some nasty stuff happen when repairing tires while driving trucks for a living .
I had a cycle tire explode on me while I was filling it with air. It knocked me across the garage and gave me one hell of a headache. Since then I've learned a lot about explosives and the real danger is internal organ damage and the pressure crushing your skull. Actual danger is a function of the pressure-wave intensity and your distance from the source. A psi difference of 40 lbs is 2880 lbs force on your skull. many other things also factor in.
This is a great video of the cage doing it's job. We used a cage for our corporate jet split rim service where the tires are inflated to 130+ with nitrogen. At the beginning of the red cage setup, 0:27 mark, you can see that the bead has not been adequately seated on the locking ring thus it is guaranteed to fail for the high speed video. What I've learned that in a 'failure scenario' a technician, who would also know the dangers of this type of rim, is in a hurry would have not insured that the lock ring and rim were in good service and/or the tire bead had not FULLY seated onto the lock-ring itself. Then casually went to full service pressure without protecting himself from the failure. That's why these cages are still being made by these companies because they know the risks with non-solid rim service as they are still used today. Otherwise these cages won't be needed. By the way. Has there been a new tire bead failure that anyone has heard of? If so, what was the circumstance? In life we now how to manage risk that we've educated ourselves on. I have this rim type on my vintage '53 International COE and plan to continue to use them for now. I'm trying to save a piece of history and will be able mount the tires myself to save money for the more expensive parts of the project. I don't want put anyone else in unnecessary danger trying to servicing them. Later try to find a way to get tubeless rims for it. That's going to be expensive. There are many good tutorials on RUclips that has made me feel more comfortable with lock-ring rims and not with the "Widow Maker" split-rims. Note: When I got my truck it did have the "Widow Makers" on the L & R inboard duals. I deflated and disassembled to see what the rim type looked like and found out the 10% to 15% of the locking sections were worn away! I suppose previous owner was trying to save money too. The outboard "Widow maker" halves along with two of the older tires will become man-cave tables. My honest recommendation is to try and upgrade to the safer solid rim type when you can.
i had a solid rim explode and gave me a decompressed fracture because we were not using a cage(witch we started to use after my injury) we dont know exactly what happened but they thing it was a defected rim that was super thin along the bead and it blew a chunk of the bead into my head.
I have heard stories where the two piece rim failed while at a stop light, the outer piece embedded itself into the engine block of the truck next to to it.
I seen it happen too. Split ring was found 100 yards away in the middle of a field. The boss would not provide safety cage/inflators, so from that point we told him to fix his own F'ing tires.
I do know of a man who worked at a tire shop who was killed by those split rim truck tires. It happened in Fulton, MO. At a business called Lee's Tire. That shop is closed now.
these split rims were called 'widow makers' i had to replace a tire on one of these split rims once , a job i never have done before. i called tire man 1st & he walked me thru the process, if it wasn't for him i probably wouldn't be typing this today...
Thats True danger. We produce inflating cages here in Poland and see how many incidents do we have each week at clients tire shops. Unfortunatelly here in Poland safety for staff is not the key key point of interest for many business owners. Anyway... Be careful when keep the tires at your hand :)
A zipper can happen if one dual is run flat for miles, but not long enough to show damage. U start putting air in and find a leak at 10psi. Pull it apart, looks fine inside and out. Patch the hole, mount it up and put air to it. Then at 60 psi it starts popping! Scary stuff!
I installed truck tires on the split rims and I always hated it. It doesn't surprise me to see the split rim cut loose. that is why you always inflate split rims in a cage. Even when you think it is safe you never know. There was one installer who had a split rim cut loose when he lowered the weight of the truck on the tire. The rim cut loose and flew 70 feet across the street and in to a brick building. Lucky no one was hurt. I hate split rims.
I used to work with split rim tire repairs years ago. I used to put the air to it and go to the other side of the shop to put at least one wall between me and the flying pieces. I can show you the holes in the walls from flying 40 lb pieces of iron to this day. I still have the equipment to work with the split rings altho I havent had to work on one in 30 plus years. Split rims are still dangerous even tho they are mostly on antique pieces of equipment
Commercial aircraft also use a two part rim. It is filled with N2 and it is a very good idea to make sure the tank regulator is turned to 0 PSI and start from there or you get the same thing you just looked at
I like the way the concrete is flying cause its ripping out the anchors. Be careful out there u tire guys man thats awesome and scary all at once. Tire sez respect mah authortiah lol
i double chain the rim, and use a lock on chuck w 30' of hose an a gauge and hand op deadman valve on the end away from the tire. STILL MAKES ME WORRY EVERY TIME!
I had them on my 1976 F250. When I bought some used tires and had them installed the shop owner gave the job to one of his young helpers, he didn't want to do it himself.
Agreed, if this happens whilst inflating your tyre there is something very wrong with your rims. Surely there is significantly more force applied to the tyre and rim whilst cornering?
The video is ment to show you the reason for using an inflation cage. Branick cages will contain a tire or rim failure. This is a type of explosion that could happen when filling a tire. A tire failure would be a similar type of explosion.
its only a tyre/rim burst which is only at 1-1.2 times the inflation pressure. a tyre explosion will only occur when the vehicle is hit by lightning, power lines, welded on the rim with the tyre still fitted or timber (foreign material) is left in the tyre which will explode at over 7 times the inflation pressure.
When I worked at a service station where they did some truck rims with the lockring, they would put them under the grease rack before inflating them. Never had one come apart there, though.
@mateopdx thats what happens. Thusly, the tire cage. these wheels used to be two piece with a snap ring. Lots of people have gotten hurt/killed before changes in wheel design and safety cages.
@raceboy1971 Thats not a seperation its a 2pc rim on larger equpment this is what works best but if the wedge ring is not not installed properly well you see what happens this is usualy installer error but it is the easyist to put on a video because you can set up the fail simply by not installing the wedge all the way
@xfusionpower Ok, that makes sense. They had just started to really incorporate the use of the air cages when I left about 11 years ago so that probably why I didn't know or remember the policy. I do remember that we mainly used them on the larger truck tires more than anything.
Ho uses thath type of rims anymore last time i thing i saw thath type of rim was on a volvo from the 80,s split rims ar not recomended on lorrys .Ore am i missing something?
to everyone claiming that they didnt see a tire failure. While correct,the video shows exactly what happens when you overinflate a tire. The tire itself will not explode. Its the rim that blows from excessive pressure. I dont know where it says anywhere that the tires failed. Ask any tire guy (myself being one) when a tire blows your not worried about fragments of rubber. Your worried about fragments of rim. Any rim new or old will fracture when overinflated
the tires are over inflated in the video's intill they fail...im guessing 150psi plus...do u not see the 3 air hoses they are using to air them up ill bet it goes from 0-150psi so fast it makes it fail
notest how it was a split rim that was used they are band in ontario for any one that dont know what a split rim is its a tipe if rim that was 2 peice and held together with a ring
there using a split rime in this video and those are the most dangerous types of rims to use if you don't know what you are doing but any type of rime can fail that easy, it all depends on the safety factors
@t6s4b this(these) were split rim truck wheels and the tire didn't fail the rim did. These have been very dangerous rims since the were designed and are banned in many states..........now I'm going to look for an actual tire explosion.
The rim failed not the tire. I was in the industry for 9+ years at the shop level and have seen my share of tire and rims failing. My company had a younge guy who lost his nose, righ eye, and most of his face when a rim failed like this and the front portion flew straight up out of the tire. It was clamped on the outside by the rim clamp changer so the top had to absorb the entire force from the blast. It changed the Co.s entire inflation procedure, we use the cages now like in the video.
A guy I used to know took a hit. Blew him diagonal across and up threw the ceiling of the far end of a 3 bay truck service canopy. Paramedics pronounced him done and got him back with more work. Big loader tire he forgot the air chuck on. Lots of power in not much air pressure.
Had a friend worked at tire shop i heard a bang and blood splattered all over shop like aeresol mist my buddy had his whole arm sliced open like bannana peel caught a major artery in his arm had alot of nerve damage and blood loss
@xfusionpower A man I know that used to come into work quite often was fitting a tyre to a 15 x 8 inch mag wheel that unbeknownst to him had several hairline cracks in it. The bead wouldn't seat so he hit the tyre with a rubber mallet. The bead popped with enough force that it shattered the cracked rim and a piece hit his arm just above the elbow. It shattered his arm bone and took most of the flesh off the underside of his arm all the way to his hand. He only had 40 psi in the tyre.
its not even a split rim. a split rim is a rim where there is 2 halves that bolt together like on fork lifts. the rim in the video is a 3 piece rim which is a very common rim these days as most mining and quarrying equipment are fitted with these style of rims including 5,6 and 7 piece style. they are only dangerous if they are fitted incorrectly or there is damage to the rim it self.
ive been doing tires for 20 plus years and first thing, Dalibor811 is rite, it was a wheel fail not the tire.... if you look the wheel was WAY to wide for that tire which when you put a lot of air in it the beads will give out.... and 2nd, PangeaSoft, im guessin the reason why there showing this clip is to show how a cage can withstand the blow of a tire that explodes, or a rim that is to wide. Know what your talking about before you comment people..
its not a tire explosion in this video its the wheel the wheel is a split wheel that if not done right will come apart as showed and that is why these wheels were out lawed. the wheel showed is like a 900-20 like you would see on old dump trucks or power trucks. and most of the time if one of these comes a part you can put it back togaether and it could be fine if you can find all the peices
tires don;t blow like that. usally they lose pressure slowly, and very rare due to bad tire condition may burst. that was an explosion, i guess cos they over inflate the tire. and is not nessesery to have an accident due to a flat tire, you have three more to handle the vehicle.

I love this, people misjudge the power of air so much, so it's cool to see this.
the guys at the truck stop I worked at changed the split rim and one blew and put a 1 inch deep circle in the concrete building...lot of power...
I have heard stories where the two piece rim failed while at a stop light, the outer piece embedded itself into the engine block of the truck next to to it.

I realize this is 10 years old, but I found it interesting TODAY! 😀
Thats why we do not fix split rims anymore...archaic and antiques need to be upgraded.
Nah. I just do it myself then.
The very fact that they are made in this manner speaks volumes. You truly can't come up with a better design? Oh wait, there is...
How many frames per second?
If you guys are so proud of the video some info would be nice.
I installed truck tires on the split rims and I always hated it. It doesn't surprise me to see the split rim cut loose. that is why you always inflate split rims in a cage.

It is called a split rim, mostly banned now.. but can do serious injury and easily kill the person standing next to it.
@xfusionpower Only 90 psi, will the air jacks even run on that low of pressure? I thought it was higher than that when I used to work for them.
Commercial aircraft also use a two part rim. It is filled with N2 and it is
a very good idea to make sure the tank regulator is turned to 0 PSI
and start from there or you get the same thing you just looked at
someone from delta just died when a airplane tire exploded!
I like the way the concrete is flying cause its ripping out the anchors. Be careful out there u tire guys man thats awesome and scary all at once. Tire sez respect mah authortiah lol
Tire safety cages are NOT suppose to be anchored to the floor , just that reason, more projectiles to add to potential injuries / death !!!!!
i double chain the rim, and use a lock on chuck w 30' of hose an a gauge and hand op deadman valve on the end away from the tire. STILL MAKES ME WORRY EVERY TIME!

Agreed, if this happens whilst inflating your tyre there is something very wrong with your rims. Surely there is significantly more force applied to the tyre and rim whilst cornering?
These are 2 piece rims, this is a typical failure of one if you fail to mount and inflate it properly
Split rims have been known to be bad sometimes. Surely the friction welded split rims are fine now?
The video is ment to show you the reason for using an inflation cage. Branick cages will contain a tire or rim failure.

At what was pressure did it fail?
When I worked at a service station where they did some truck rims with the lockring, they would put them under the grease rack before inflating them. Never had one come apart there, though.
@mateopdx thats what happens. Thusly, the tire cage. these wheels used to be two piece with a snap ring. Lots of people have gotten hurt/killed before changes in wheel design and safety cages.
This is a Dayton style split rim. if the ring isn't seated properly or the ring groove is dirty, this can happen at very low psi.
@raceboy1971 Thats not a seperation its a 2pc rim on larger equpment this is what works best but if the wedge ring is not not installed properly well you see what happens this is usualy installer error but it is the easyist to put on a video because you can set up the fail simply by not installing the wedge all the way
was it a truck tire or a car tire?
Split rims are used in agriculture in many applications.
@xfusionpower Ok, that makes sense. They had just started to really incorporate the use of the air cages when I left about 11 years ago so that probably why I didn't know or remember the policy. I do remember that we mainly used them on the larger truck tires more than anything.
Split rims are even more dangerous if you ask me. The military still uses those types of wheel set ups.
Ho uses thath type of rims anymore last time i thing i saw thath type of rim was on a volvo from the 80,s split rims ar not recomended on lorrys .Ore am i missing something?
This is a great video. We would like to rip this and show it at a safety meeting. Will you give us your permission to do that?
You don't need a pressure gauge Gomer. Just keep adding air till the tire is good and firm. "POW"
to everyone claiming that they didnt see a tire failure. While correct,the video shows exactly what happens when you overinflate a tire. The tire itself will not explode. Its the rim that blows from excessive pressure. I dont know where it says anywhere that the tires failed. Ask any tire guy (myself being one) when a tire blows your not worried about fragments of rubber. Your worried about fragments of rim. Any rim new or old will fracture when overinflated
what pressure do this tire need to explode?
those are off road wheels and tires they are made way different then most. there are made to hold low presser for better traction
At what psi did the wheel finally fail?
Does the cage have to be replaced after this or is it still considered serviceable?
anyone know the brand and model of that tire?
the tires are over inflated in the video's intill they fail...im guessing 150psi plus...do u not see the 3 air hoses they are using to air them up ill bet it goes from 0-150psi so fast it makes it fail
split rims are ancient technology still have one come up once in awhile,dont even mess with em.
notest how it was a split rim that was used they are band in ontario for any one that dont know what a split rim is its a tipe if rim that was 2 peice and held together with a ring
good ole split rims...i have one under my 61......the original spare
there using a split rime in this video and those are the most dangerous types of rims to use if you don't know what you are doing but any type of rime can fail that easy, it all depends on the safety factors
Not..it's a split rim commonly used on many commercial vehicles..
It's a tire? its still cool but i dont know for the need of the music?
is this meant to make me think twice about inflating my tyres? great ive always wanted to drive on flats
@t6s4b this(these) were split rim truck wheels and the tire didn't fail the rim did. These have been very dangerous rims since the were designed and are banned in many states..........now I'm going to look for an actual tire explosion.
@mateopdx Neither tire nor wheel. Rim has failed. Wheel is called a tire and rim together
theses tires are on split rims witch are on big trucks /tractors so dont be afraid to put air in youre prius its not gonna do that ever
I was going to say this, but you said it first. If you look closely you can see the tire NOT exploding...heh.
Am I crazy or does this kind of wheel need a new design rather than just having contingencies for when they try to kill you....
Thats because the tire is so thick and strong that the only escape for air is the edge of the rims
The rim failed not the tire. I was in the industry for 9+ years at the shop level and have seen my share of tire and rims failing. My company had a younge guy who lost his nose, righ eye, and most of his face when a rim failed like this and the front portion flew straight up out of the tire. It was clamped on the outside by the rim clamp changer so the top had to absorb the entire force from the blast. It changed the Co.s entire inflation procedure, we use the cages now like in the video.
A guy I used to know took a hit. Blew him diagonal across and up threw the ceiling of the far end of a 3 bay truck service canopy. Paramedics pronounced him done and got him back with more work. Big loader tire he forgot the air chuck on.
Lots of power in not much air pressure.
@il4s247
I'm Australian. We use the English spelling of tire, which is tyre.
Two weeks ago a tire fitter died because of that. It happend the moment he wanted to fit the valve, the newspaper said.
are split rims banned in some countries?
Had a friend worked at tire shop i heard a bang and blood splattered all over shop like aeresol mist my buddy had his whole arm sliced open like bannana peel caught a major artery in his arm had alot of nerve damage and blood loss
It is painfully obvious to the most casual observer that a recapping mold is used in these shots which are designed to fail.
@b16vtecguy many transports still use them... that's why you use a cage to put them is as your inflating them though.
@xfusionpower
A man I know that used to come into work quite often was fitting a tyre to a 15 x 8 inch mag wheel that unbeknownst to him had several hairline cracks in it. The bead wouldn't seat so he hit the tyre with a rubber mallet. The bead popped with enough force that it shattered the cracked rim and a piece hit his arm just above the elbow. It shattered his arm bone and took most of the flesh off the underside of his arm all the way to his hand.
He only had 40 psi in the tyre.
they still exist. we use split rims in the military. though not many equipment have it anymore
That looks like more of a rim failure then a tire failure
its not even a split rim. a split rim is a rim where there is 2 halves that bolt together like on fork lifts. the rim in the video is a 3 piece rim which is a very common rim these days as most mining and quarrying equipment are fitted with these style of rims including 5,6 and 7 piece style. they are only dangerous if they are fitted incorrectly or there is damage to the rim it self.
its not a spit rim fools. it's just a lockring and a flange. split rims split in the middle aka widow makers.
It is a split rim
wats the song name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that isnt a tyre explosion..... the rim separates?
Hmm, I didn't see one tire failure in that video. I saw inner and outer rim separation, but no tire failure.
ive been doing tires for 20 plus years and first thing, Dalibor811 is rite, it was a wheel fail not the tire.... if you look the wheel was WAY to wide for that tire which when you put a lot of air in it the beads will give out.... and 2nd, PangeaSoft, im guessin the reason why there showing this clip is to show how a cage can withstand the blow of a tire that explodes, or a rim that is to wide. Know what your talking about before you comment people..
its not a tire explosion in this video its the wheel the wheel is a split wheel that if not done right will come apart as showed and that is why these wheels were out lawed. the wheel showed is like a 900-20 like you would see on old dump trucks or power trucks. and most of the time if one of these comes a part you can put it back togaether and it could be fine if you can find all the peices
@xfusionpower
It would have taken more than 125psi to do that, I have seen a bead not set at 120 psi
is this song from cristical ( Jetztspielen.de) ?
No more big bang. ERW is almost here. A patented "stretch" technology that replaces the need for air in tires.
Those type of split rims were the leading reason to why that cage was invented.
The sound track is like Epicmealtime sound track don't you think?
So I take tires off my car every time I inflate them? Thats a hassle.
What we're actually seeing here is a Split-Rim wheel coming apart, not a tire exploding.
also I would like to say that when truck tyres explode the tyres not the rims the results can be deadly check it on mythbusters!
which music is this?
@sergiofuenla the "smoke" is likely water vapor.
@cornbinderguy they still have split rims on some eavy earthmoving machinery but they have imroved them
tires don;t blow like that. usally they lose pressure slowly, and very rare due to bad tire condition may burst. that was an explosion, i guess cos they over inflate the tire. and is not nessesery to have an accident due to a flat tire, you have three more to handle the vehicle.
compressed air is like a bomb when it is over pressurized in whatever the rating for being filled is.
This can happen on a split rim or conventional rim. Split rims are the MOST dangerous though and for that reason, they are put in the safety cage.
0:18 we can see clearly this is not a tire explosion,is the explosion of something in the midle of the wheel rim.
still commonly known as a split rim....main section with inside bead...another ring for outter bead then a large snapring to hold it together
