Investigation Summary
At about 5:30 p.m. on July 11, 2001, Employee #1, a mechanic, was inflating a farm tractor tire which was mounted on a wheel rim that had been removed from the tractor. The single piece rim was approximately 40 years old and the tire was a new International Harvester tire. No restraining devices or barriers were in use during inflation. The air compressor was set about 120 psi and the air line was not equipped with a pressure gauge or pressure regulator. When the tire exploded, Employee #1 was struck by the rim and killed.
