[QUOTE="Travis1, post: 1478465, member: 16253"] Yeah... and the rigs that I saw down there largely used straps to hold the tires down, with some other means of keeping the tire laterally in place. Under normal conditions, rolling multiple times, flopping, nerfing, etc. the tires don't go anywhere. The straps I've seen aren't tiny, they look like the 10,000+lb 2" cargo straps. They lawn darted HARD in to the ground. Doing about 30-35mph before being abruptly stopped. It's not like they have crumple zones built in to absorb some of that energy. The impact caused the co-dawg to (IIRC) break both ankles, for sure one, from the impact. Was flown to an ambulance and driven to a hospital. The driver was checked out and declared ok, the next morning he wasn't and was life flighted out. IMO, in regards to the tire, and listening to the radio chatter of what went down as a gauge of how bad the hit was - I see more of a **** happens than a safety issue. [/QUOTE]
