In one incident that happened to two friends on a split rim aircraft
wheel (a lot smaller than an MV wheel), one broke his hand and the other
suffered a cracked skull from the resulting explosion.
Each thought that the other had already let the air out!
BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When refilling a newly assembled split rim, stand by the tread of the
tire, out of the debris field if the wheel were to fail. Stripped and
rusty split rim bolts are a definite disaster waiting to happen.
Use due diligence and you'll be O.K.
Did I tell you about the friend who was chiseling a weld on his WC and
had a metal splinter blind him in one eye? Now he wears safety glasses
whenever he gets out of bed.....He doesn't have any more eyes to lose to
be blind!
Think about what you're doing before you do it.......
