I thought it said runaway tire rings someone's bell at 40mph. Jesus, that's enough to straight up kill you. 

Good thing my reading comprehension is slipping.

It really doesn't look all that dangerous as it rolls along until it gets about 25ish feet away.  The way it blew through that column was kind of shocking.

If the wheel is smoking, I'd get away.

 

 

 

I'm assuming the paint on the inside catches fire, thanks in part to the high pressure making combustion easier, and from there it's a runaway effect.

Scary stuff.  Lucky it didn't go ripping into a person or a crowd of people.

Only a Mustang wheel would do that.

It's pretty obvious it's not a mustang wheel.

For those that'd rather not click through. Pretty funny to watch until the end on this one.

This had to happen last year.  This year, it would have caught the garbage can on fire for a mini dumpster fire.

I imagine the smoking in that video came from a wheel bearing letting go and letting the wheel and hub free as a set.
