Super high pressure tires are supposed to be taken off and filled inside a tire cage for this reason. There are videos, I remember one where a guy had his clothes blown off, others not so lucky.

Damn, imagine getting the food wars treatment via tire. Shits scary. If only we could design a small, portable, two wheeled vehicle that wouldn’t splode so dangerously.

Big tire(1550lbs/703kg) with big pressure(150psi). That cage is 820lbs/372kg. That is a staggering amount of energy.
