Or, how about the tire blowing out (not just deflating), causing the wheel
itself to hit the pavement off angle, with no impact absorbtion that the
tire would have taken. Then the impact causes significant torque and force
up against the dreaded ball joint and fulcrm pin, which in turn causes the
failure/breakage of the joint or pin. Then that side of the suspension
buckles, throwing the car out of control.
