Ya those old split rims killed 3-400 men every day before the government stepped in and stopped the slaughter,,, Like a lot of other things in life common sense will keep a fellow pretty safe but dumb luck also steps in a saves a few including me. In 1977 I was a mechanic at a gravel pit and there was a CAT 988 loader in the shop, tires about 4 times larger that that grader tire. I walked between it and the wall and I was just past the bucket and turned in front of it and BOOM!!! I hit the deck as dirt filled the shop and debris was flying. When the dust settled the rings had come off a tire and totally destroyed a wall of the shop,and a set of lockers. The bucket saved me, had it blown 5 seconds earlier I would not be here. That loader has been sitting there for a day, tires and rings hadn't been touched for months. Needless to say I have a healthy respect for split rims, but I don't consider them be any more dangerous than a drive to town,,,
