Investigation Summary
At 3:10 p.m. on July 28, 2021, an employee was working on installing a new Michelin 385/65 R 22.5 (130 p.s.i.) tire on a customer supplied rim after inflating it in one of the onsite cages. The employee was transferring the tire from the cage to the rim when the tire slipped off of the rim and ruptured. The employee was struck by both the tire and the rim resulting in massive trauma to the face, neck and chest. The employee was also thrown approximately seven feet backwards causing additional blunt force trauma injuries and killing him.
