Split Rims and Explosions

Split Rim Defects

A Tire Explosion: Mounting a Multi-Piece Rim - A Case Study

A worker was killed at a truck dealership that bought, sold and traded medium- to heavy-duty commercial trucks. The dealership also serviced commercial trucks and buses but did not work on multi-piece rim wheels.

A body shop technician was fatally injured by the split side ring of a multi-piece tire rim that suddenly released. The victim had been rotating the two front tires on a 1995 bus brought in for front end alignment. Both wheels were mounted on a five-spoke hub. The front right wheel had been removed and set aside, and the employee was
taking off the front left wheel.

Four of the five rim clamps, studs and nuts had been removed when the side ring flew off, striking the employee in the head and chest. The victim was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A multi-piece wheel has two or more parts. The side ring holds the tire and other components on the rim wheel by interlocking the components when the tire is inflated. There are several variations of a multi-piece rim, including two-piece and three-piece
assemblies.

A tube-type demountable rim assembly with a split side ring is typical of two-piece assemblies. The parts are designed to allow the split ring to fit snugly into the gutter on the rim and hold the tire on the wheel when the tire is inflated.

The split side ring markings were illegible because the ring had been painted over with black paint four months earlier. When the paint was scraped off, the split side ring markings showed the ring was mismatched with the rim base and had been damaged when it was mounted previously.

The victim had been disassembling the wheel thinking that it had been put together according to the manufacturer's specifications. The employee had no reason to believe the mismatched split side ring and the rim base were not properly seated. The tire was properly inflated and had been driven for about four months before the incident.

The Workers's Family Successfully Settled The Case A Year After The Lawsuit Was Filed

Here, the family of the killed worker had a strong case against the previous repair shop which had mis-mounted the tires, the manufacturer of the defective rims, the distributor of the defective rims and the seller of the defective rims. The case was settled before trial for a substantial amount.

The is a defective product case study. It is not legal advice. Any resemblance to actual cases and/or events is purely by accident. This case study is admittedly simplistic in order to achieve clarity. Each product liability accident case is different and has separate difficulties and/or challenges. There is no guarantee that your defective rim accident case will have a similar result as discussed in this case study.
