so i was airing up a tire for my 1-1 rig and the bead tore and the tire exploded up at me. i am broke, my hand has 1 bone that is shattered,1 that is broken and 2 that were dislocated. my elbow is broke,1 bone is now three pieces and one was dislocated

after lots of screws and a couple plates i should be good in a while and maybe have perfect use of my hand in 4-6 months. i hope to be driving in a couple weeks.

Wow dude, that sucks. What kind of pressure were you putting/running in the tire?

Hurry up and get better! Remember to keep turning those pins when the doc says you should...

That sucks when did it happen. I will agree do what the doc tells you to do or you might regret it. I know I did when I busted my ankle (dam it hurts once in a while). I hope you get better soon. Do you have any pics of the damage. LOL

i had just over 50 psi in it setting the bead. it was a 38x12.5x15" super swamper. i think it was my fault.the tire was kinda beat up.

p.s. i am listening to the doctor.

You should of used a bead cheater retard. Trying to set a bead on a 38 like that is not recommended. Get well soon so we can wheel.

I used to work on big trucks, changed hundreds of 10x24 inch semi tires. Always worried about what happened to you happening to me, dammit man!

MTHead · 07-24-2009, 07:23 AM

I'll have to remember this the next time you ask if you can come over to use the mill.

Seriously though, sorry to hear that, I wish you the best in a speedy recovery..
