From: Doug on 3 Apr 2010 01:58 As a matter of interest, since numbers of dead are so important to those on these newsgroups, I wonder how may people have been killed by exploding car tyres lately? Just one of many possible dangerous car faults seemingly. Better still though, since this will arouse very much more interest here, how many have been killed by exploding cycle tyres? "Woman dies after tyre explosion A US air force officer who was on holiday in Scotland has died after a car tyre she was holding exploded. Capt Jenna Wilcox, 27, was on a break with her husband when the accident happened in Dalkeith, Midlothian, on Saturday..."

Most of the time there's no one near enough to suffer injury but it is why tyre fitters are supposed to put tyres in a cage when inflating them.

It is akin to holding a firework that has gone out.
