Tyres are indeed dangerous - our company has had several fatalities from tyres exploding during inflation  Most of our workshops are equipped with cages for this purpose. Slightly larger than your typical domestic tyre though

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on.

I work for a company that builds compressed breathing equipment. The average tyre holds 30 psi of pressure. Our cylinders have about 4500 psi! Proper torpedo if dropped and the valve is compromised.

How does that work mate? You put the tire and worker in a cage so no flying bits can hurt anyone else if it goes wrong?

So you make really small breathing equipment?  For things like this?

How would you convince someone to do that job. "Here mate, you just get into the cage with the tyre. We'll just be over here watching."

An interesting concept, but I suspect our safety director wouldn't be particularly keen on the idea, as it wouldn't really stop the fatality rate  Something along the lines of this:
