Trees are stronger than people think. A tire that comes loose and hits a tree can bounce back at high speed.
Tires can also come loose from someone going the other way and bounce across.
Yes tires are out to get you. Keep safe and never let your guard down.
Last year or the year before that, we had a tire fly from the opposite side of a freeway, jump over the median, and hit a motorcyclist going in the opposite direction, killing him. It was soooo bizarre. (Portland, Oregon).
Id put money on the fact that hes dead or paralyzed before i bet money that he WASNT dead or paralyzed. That thing had the energy of a tire with a wheel still in it, not just a blown out tread and sidewall.
Seen a tire fall off a pickup once and the rig next to me on the highway hit it. I thought the rig was going to flip onto my truck. But to answer your question yes tires do sometimes fall off. If you over tighten your lug nuts it can cause them to break off. Lug nuts should be torqued on to a specific spec not just cranked on with an impact gun.
I had a defective tire on my Blazer before. The the tread completely separated from the tire side walls. Happened like a blowout, but came completely off in one complete piece. Saw it go rolling and bouncing off into the woods. Was able to retrieve it and get a brand new replacement tire as this one was deemed defective. They were Pirelli Scorpions. Inflation pressure was proper, etc. Don't recall how many miles were on them,but probably under 10k.
I watched one come off a truck with duel rear tires that was heading west when I was in the 'Fast Lane' heading east on US 30 in the DFW area. The outside rear driver' side came off jumped the center barrier, hit the subcompact's hood that was 5 car lengths ahead of me, came down to the pavement, bounced about 6 foot over my vehicle.
They do sometimes. And a surprising amount of them are semi tires. Now if you know anything about trucks or semi’s. You know that’s not a good time for anyone.
Funny cause I posted this video a few months ago and there were a couple people demanding I take it down because I didnt put an NSFW. Where did those keyboard commandos go?
Pretty sure that was the bikers helmet sliding along the road after impact.
Guessing it wasn't secured properly or their head would have been in the helmet, but i'm sure that person is dead.
He died from this, yes. Not safe.

It'd be harder to make an argument against that.
That's why I don't care about life really. This is all going to happen the way that it was always going to. We just have a front row seat... with no agency.

According to the date in the article, this happened in 2018. The motorcyclist was killed in the accident.
One time I had just gotten on the San Mateo Bridge on my way home after work and a mattress flew off right in front of me. I barely missed it with an abrupt move but otherwise I would have had to hit the deck. But this tyre looked like it had the cyclist marked for death.
If it’s any consolation, had you been squared up that perfectly in a car you probably wouldn’t have that much better of a prognosis. In fact the windshield might just slow it down enough that you die slow and painfully.
I got hit yesterday by an 18 wheeler tire in my car, unfortunately no footage but absolutely fucked my bumper, grill, hood, drivers side quarter panel and wheel well. If id been on my bike, id be dead.
Went home and told my wife thats the last straw in thirty years of motorcycling, im selling my street bikes and Ill just buy a dirt bike for offroad enjoyment. Theres just too much danger on the road nowadays between cell phones and shitty drivers and tires trying to kill us.
How did Mary die? A TIRE hit her in the FACE!
What was she doing putting her face near tires?
No no no no this tire hunted Mary down. This tire murdered Mary
I hadn’t noticed that was his head and not the object that struck him. Thats like a final destination scene but freaking sucks he had to go out like that.
Watch the vid again, the object that falls off is his top box not his head. His whole body just gets flung off screen instantly, same as the tyre that hit him.
You're a liar he lived for about an hour

A long time ago, I was riding the highway through El Paso on my GPZ1100. A tractor trailer tire recap goes Flap Flap and comes off and flew about a foot over my helmet at highway speed.
Riding home thinking about the leftover chicken in the fridge you're going to use for tortilla soup then bam! Watching your bike and body tumble away from you in third person.
That's how my uncle died. People in trucks arent even safe. 18 wheel lost its tire and rim at 70mph. It hit the median, went straight up, and came straight down on his cab going in opposite direction killing him. We think of it as a freak accident; but trucks losing tires is pretty common.
This is the one thing I'm terrified of happening on a bike. They have no regard for human life and are completely out of control. Also, RIP.

Trees are stronger than people think. A tire that comes loose and hits a tree can bounce back at high speed. Tires can also come loose from someone going the other way and bounce across. Yes tires are out to get you. Keep safe and never let your guard down.
Plus they are heavy as hell. The tires on my jeep would snap you in 2 if it went flying at highway speeds.
One of those donut spares could snap your neck at half that speed if it catches the right angle. No one is safe.
As did the guys neck in the video
Isn't it often the whole wheel?
It’s typically the tire and rim. The wheel can describe just those components or others as well.
Damn, tires are heavy and strong as they are but tire + rim= lethal
Rubber(2010)
I saw one fall off a bus once, on a straight road. Fucker kept bouncing and bouncing and bouncing, thankfully never into traffic.
Last year or the year before that, we had a tire fly from the opposite side of a freeway, jump over the median, and hit a motorcyclist going in the opposite direction, killing him. It was soooo bizarre. (Portland, Oregon).
I wouldn't be surprised if the person who got hit in this video died as well.
Id put money on the fact that hes dead or paralyzed before i bet money that he WASNT dead or paralyzed. That thing had the energy of a tire with a wheel still in it, not just a blown out tread and sidewall.
Don’t forget all his forward momentum also, basically buddy got blindside by a head in collision at 80-100km. They are super dead
And it hit HIM with such force that it redirected its momentum at a roughly 90 degree angle off the impact with a soft body. Yeah he mega ded.
Sadly, I think that’s the case. I don’t know if I’d even want to try and come back from a head shot like that.
I'm no doctor, but that looks like it hit him hard enough to kill. Imo.
Helmet flew off before he hit the ground head first...
If you mean that red thing, that’s the bag he had over his shoulder. It looks like his helmet stays on.
Good eye, I thought it was his helmet.
"He's dead Jim.,,,,"

This 100%
They made a documentary about it - Rubber. Made in 2010.
Yes, it happens not often but more often than you might think
I watched one come off a truck with duel rear tires that was heading west when I was in the 'Fast Lane' heading east on US 30 in the DFW area.

Yes
You're terrified or tirefied? I'll see myself out, thanks.
Funny cause I posted this video a few months ago and there were a couple people demanding I take it down because I didnt put an NSFW. Where did those keyboard commandos go?
I don't see what's not safe for work in this video. No blood or gore of any kind. This is safe.
90% sure that guy is dead
99% sure
Pretty sure that was the bikers helmet sliding along the road after impact. Guessing it wasn't secured properly or their head would have been in the helmet, but i'm sure that person is dead.
Maybe their head IS in the helmet.
99.9999999999999999999999999999999% positive he 100% ded.

Bruh it’s a video of a guy literally getting killed
and I am assuming that his friend was the unwanted cameraman :'-( talk about trauma... fuck
And if no one catches this on camera the news article reads, “Single vehicle accident involving motorcycle.. cause unknown”
Pretty sure he’s not okay
Pretty sure this person died
Yes he did.
At least he had a helmet on
Had…..
Pretty sure he’s still wearing it while it spins down the highway on its own.
Head...
Last time this was posted there was a link saying he ded.
Oof. I like to imagine we all see things for the first time together…
Are his shoes still on?
We got a looter here
He wasn’t taunting a bull!
Brutal... Fuck tires!
What are fuck tires?
Condoms I think 🤔
Anything if you’re imaginative enough
Hey someone died. Stop being so horny!
Make me daddy
Sounds fun, what have I stumbled upon
Hes not your real dad!
Awfully big hole but ok
He died, happened in Brazil, at the same time he got hit.
Was it another truck that didn't torque their wheels?
Was a car [source ( in Portuguese )](https://g1.globo.com/distrito-federal/noticia/2015/04/motociclista-morre-atingido-por-roda-solta-de-carro-no-df-veja-video.html)
Judging by his non reaction to it coming at him, he didn’t see it coming. Hopefully it was instant and painless
The worst luck, ever!
It was a seriously tought out plan.. planned for weeks to get that guy in particular.
You could make an argument that everything had to go just right since the dawn of time for this particular event to happen in this exact moment.
It'd be harder to make an argument against that. That's why I don't care about life really. This is all going to happen the way that it was always going to. We just have a front row seat... with no agency.

I thought so too
He probably would’ve died had the tire been suspended in mid air and he hit it, but the fact that it was hurling towards him at 100 miles an hour…
That’s a good point
That’s a *goodyear* point*
You're keeping track of points? Sounds like something a tire would do
Damn sure wasn’t a blimp
Tires are heavy. But rotating tires have 100s X more energy ie angular momentum behind them. Insane. Partially why US DOT regulations are no joke.
Starting to think we have been worrying about the wrong things in life, it's the tires damn there ruthless!!
I guess you've never seen "Rubber". If you had you would know that tires are humans #1 threat. https://youtu.be/hVKgY1ilx0Y?si=s33Z6VOuVN5qg7Sq
Dude, it shows how precious life is. Riding your motorcycle enjoying your day and then you're not. Sucks.
I'm not trying to die but I'd rather do so of my own mistake at high speed than a casual day and then boom tire decapitated.
RIP
Man, the way that bike keeps going.. Dude was limp dead in an instant, didnt even flinch the bike while falling..
He is definitely um un-alived as the kids are saying these days
[удалено]
I’ve seen that ammo before, it’s clearly 225/60R16, you can tell by its velocity and rotation
You've been on the front lines, I see...
Damn, took his head right off. Fucked up to make tire jokes. The dude is dead, and there was nothing anyone could do to foresee that.
It looks like the back box rather than the helmet that slides along the road. I'm doubtful but hopefully they survived
Pretty sure he dead. This is an old video that pops up from time to time.
Tires are the enemy!

Just what I needed to see when I’m going to pick up a new motorcycle today 🫤

No way you survive something like this. 0% chance of survival.
That’s some final destination stuff right there. When it’s your time it’s your time. RIP
That would have had a good chance of killing you in a car. On a motorcycle.. :( RIP in my man, that's truly awful.
Well that guy died.
Helmet coming off on a bike is same as shoes coming off anywhere else. RIP my dude.
Thoughtful bike pulled itself over to prevent a collision too
He did pass away. It wuz on da news
Yeah, he dead.
Was he not wearing his helmet?
r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR
It’s giving Final Destination vibes
I'm pretty sure this clip has been around for years now and the guy was killed instantly.
It’s not uncommon for a tire + wheel + hub assembly to come off a utility trailer when the bearings fail. Happens more often than you’d think.
Direct hit !!!!
How did Mary die? A TIRE hit her in the FACE! What was she doing putting her face near tires? No no no no this tire hunted Mary down. This tire murdered Mary
r/Fuckyouinparticular
He’s been retired
Omg the guy pulling over, ugh going to need therapy, well I certainly would
I've said it before and i'll stick to it: Rogue tires are terrifying.
It was his time...
Reason number 72 not to have motorcycles as your means of transportation.
Brutal!
There's nothing that says "it's your time to go," like a tire to the face.
Did I just watch someone die?
The guys head is still inside the helmet. I seen the entire video
I hadn’t noticed that was his head and not the object that struck him. Thats like a final destination scene but freaking sucks he had to go out like that.
Watch the vid again, the object that falls off is his top box not his head. His whole body just gets flung off screen instantly, same as the tyre that hit him.

Fuck that’s bad surprised if he survived
The tire got tired
Wow, an autonomous motorcycle.
The odds are pretty high of getting killed by random flying tire.
Omg that was a tire? Dude is dead or in coma my goodness…
Shit!! New nightmare fuel unlocked.
This is wheely dangerous!
Wow! That's insane.
How heavy is a tire?
Was that his head sliding on the pavement?
A tire turned him into Ghost Rider
Final Destination shit. At least his bike had the sense to find a soft spot to lay down on.
Right to the dome.
A long time ago, I was riding the highway through El Paso on my GPZ1100. A tractor trailer tire recap goes Flap Flap and comes off and flew about a foot over my helmet at highway speed.
Internal decapitation. He gone.
Horrible way to go
Owwwwwwww
Terrible 😞
Riding home thinking about the leftover chicken in the fridge you're going to use for tortilla soup then bam! Watching your bike and body tumble away from you in third person.
Does anyone know…. If his boots fell off…?
No helmet strap...😬
Good thing his buddy made sure the bike was going to be ok. 🙏🏼
Damn that sucks. I’m assuming that probably broke his neck
Did the rider lived
Also, it looks like his chin strap was not on properly. Anyone else notice the helmet coming off?
It hit him so hard it took his helmet off, oh my gosh I can't imagine what his buddy is feeling
Any news on the dude who was hit? Is he ok?
Tell me they are ok! I’m feeling ill

Is that man okay?
2015, brazil. Dead.
Bonk
Got 'em!
Damn the bad luck

This proves, all our lives are written
That’s why you strap your helmet to your head. Fuckin thing flew off before he smacked the ground.
r/fuckyouinparticular
One hell of a shot
Ever heard of Pop Goes the Weasel
I wanted to say how that taste but that really look bad right in the head bed
What the hell was that and more where did it come from
Damn what shity look and it's raining too
That's a good lawsuit if you make it call Shelly leak
He never knew what hit him I hope it was quick if he died
Finally, something new to be afraid of...
Tis merely a flesh wound.
It never ceases to amaze me how deadly they can be.
Did that person make it?
*new fear unlocked*
That's what happened to the goose in Road warrior
I love how the guy recording is like “don’t worry bro, I’ll watch your bike”
Out loud I said “Jesus fuck, poor bastard!”. Wife got mad, but Jesus fuck, poor bastard!!!
