This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

There was another one where (IIRC) a punk of some sort was trying to extort money out of somebody and had attached a spike to the back of his shoe so that he could (in his mind) surreptitiously slash a tire as he was walking by, either for plausible deniability or just to look badass or whatever, and it ended up blowing his leg off clean at the knee when he tried it.

Truck tires are no joke. I once met a guy who lost an eye to an exploding tire, and his orbital socket shattered and sent a bunch of bone confetti into his brain. He survived, but had a lot of long term effects from it (as you'd expect)

semi tires can explode during highway travel and decapitate drivers in cars that are next to them. think about that next time you are passing a semi :D

Not to mention that most trucking firms are skinflinting motherfuckers who flaunt safety violations. Most truck tires are tissue-thin with some lovely retread slapped on it, which can also kill you as it comes flying off. I personally knew a guy that died after pulling his car over on the highway to fix a flat on the outside wheel, away from the highway. Some semi run by a crook had retread come off and a huge chunk hit the guy in the head and he died instantly. They never figured out which truck it had come off.

Mythbusters proved that one bullshit. I've actually had a truck tire explode right next to me on the highway. It scared the living gently caress out of me and some tire bits hit my car but my head remains intact.

CSI had an episode that decapitated someone in a go-kart riding alongside a truck when it exploded.


Ecklie: What's going on here?
Grissom: We're trying to determine if a steel-belted truck tire can decapitate a kid driving a go-kart.
Ecklie: I thought that was an urban myth.
Grissom: Myths, legends, tall tales, they all come from something real.

This statement is semi-correct. They proved that an exploding semi tire will likely not kill you with concussive force or projectile tread bits.

They did however, confirm that tire tread being flung OFF the rim at a high velocity will ruin you if it makes contact with your body.

They move nuclear waste in trucks in the highway. If you were stuck in traffic next to one for an hour, it'd be the same amount of radiation as getting a chest xray. And you don't even know it's happening.
