Oooh, nasty. That's how Henry Surtees died. Someone will get a big fine for the tether breaking, probably, because loose wheels are one of the biggest dangers left in F1.

The tethers did their job, the tire came off the wheel.

Oh, right, that's a fair bit less serious. The mass of the tyre alone is quite a large proportion of the wheel's total weight, but then again it's deformable so the impact ought to be less.
