Should be happy that it happened strapped down and not on the highway.

There’s always a silver lining, right?

At work I was doing measurements with a M-B tractor trailer truck on a heavy chassis dynamometer (non-mobile version that has a roller diameter of 2.5 meters). We had a tire failure that sent badly twisted aluminum mudguard flying 5 meters up in the air and it knocked down one roof light. And this happened with just the air pressure escaping through the ruptured sidewall. Luckily no-one was in the measurement room at that time.

The chassis dynamometer tire blowouts are really scary.

Came here to say this. Who knows if the car, and therefore the tire, would have been able to reach the speeds he was on the dyno, but if that happened while he was moving this would have ended much, much worse!

Wow! How did that happen?

Low-speed tire? Dyno/loading problem?

Not sure. The tire starts looking funny about 1.5 seconds before it blows. You can really see it if you play it in slow motion.

I have no idea how these things work, but the tire started looking wonky after he let off throttle. Maybe the intertia from the dyno shifted the load on the tire from forward to backwards. Are you supposed to clutch in the you go off throttle?
