Employee sustains skull, arm fractures when struck by flying

At 11:00 a.m. on June 16, 2020, an employee working a mechanic for an automotive repair shop was inflating a tire using a Coats Rim Clamp Tire Changer. The employee did not receive training on how to correctly match tire and wheel sizes or how to properly mount tires on this tire machine. While filling the tire, it blew causing the force to send the tire flying off the machine and into the air. The employee was struck by the tire causing blunt force injuries to the side of his head and left arm and requiring hospitalization.
