Tire safety.
I just saw this on another forum I visit, thought it would be a good warning to all of us.

EDIT: can't figure out how to embed the video, so there is a link to it.

I've done about 10 deuce or larger tires at the other end of a 50 foot hose with a clip-on air chuck layed stem down and left that way for a few hours at rated pressure. Man are those tire explosions devasting.

Those explosions aren't from improper installation, the resulting failure is from being STUPID and welding on a wheel. As the guy stated in the vid, the reason thet made the vid, is that someone ACTUALLY did this. How stupid can people be?
Guess it can be looked at from another piont of view...ridding the gene pool of defective stock.
