Split Rims Can Kill…

Split rims are wheel assemblies that are made up of a number of pieces held together by bolts or a lock ring, and are used on a broad range of plant including lift trucks, earthmoving machinery, trucks, buses and trailers. Split rims can be used with both pneumatic and solid tyres.

There are many hazards associated with tyre and wheel assemblies, and split rims pose substantial additional risks. The main additional hazard is the possibility of uncontrolled release of compressed air from the tyre, propelling components at high speed which can strike the operator and/or bystanders

I didn’t want to laugh but mehn, that clip is making me laugh involuntarily… Sad as it is, I am unable to contain my laughter.

I have seen this shit splitting a man’s face with my own eyes. Shit even affected my ears for quite a whike. Luckily the man is alive to tell his story, with deformed face.

Death in 1000 ways.

Common with older models of Isuzu mini trucks… One broke a kasee’s leg when he was filling it up, he had not secured the ring properly.

Edit, kasee=tire experts

huyo aliponea. I know someone who was killed by that shit. Ring ilitoka ikampata hapa chini ya shingo. Ndio nikaanza ku understand maana ya ile cage.

Yes… They never learn

Back in Mumias when it was still operating a guy putting pressure in those giant tractor tires while standing on it was thrown through the workshop roof when it exploded.

Noma sana.
:mad::smiley:

noted…

2013 Njabini kinangop, jamaa was repairing a tractor tyre tube. Akajaza hewa then akagongagonga the inflated tube na kachuma fulani I don’t know to test what. In a split second, feathers were flying high in the sky. He had a jacket iko na feather like layer filling. The tube had burst, jacket ikawa blown apart and the metal rod had split his forehead. He died on spot

Everytime nikienda kwa mkamba wangu wa tyre and they start inflating lorry tyres , I go for a walk , I have seen crazy shit with exploding tyres on the net !

:D:D ati feathers were flying in the sky

That was almost like being transported to the scene for a brief moment. Like the people who might have been there, I was like - WTF?

The blast blew the jacket torn and pushed the feather like material up very fast. Actually those who were far waliskia mlipuko and on checking they saw feathers flying high

Pale joska supermarket eastleigh years ago ilikata mtu kichwa clean no mess

How long have you been a sadist?

Seems the head is usually the most vulnerable part

Joster. Joster supermarket.

Isn’t it the tyre that’s supposed to be in the cage???

This is one thing everyone knows someone who was killed or harmed by it.
