You said that compressed air in tires might be "unreasonable". Well, it is
not. In this case familiarity breeds contempt. I put air in tires without a
though all the time, but I know one guy who was killed by a flying piece of a
truck rim. Hit in the head. I also saw a guy who had surgery on both arms
because an AUTOMOTIVE tire failed in some weird spectacular way. He was
working in a shop and was getting an old wheel and tire off a shelf. It
dropped and hit the ground. It exploded and was propelled upward into his
forearms. Both were broken like matchsticks.
