Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on August 28, 2006, Employee #1 was operating a Corghi tire changer machine (Model Number A2024TI, Serial Number CBC003354) at a retail store. Employee #1 was using a shop air hose to inflate the tire rather than the dedicated air hose on the machine. The shop hose was a significantly higher pressure, while the dedicated hose had a safety limiting device. Employee #1 over-inflated the tire, and it exploded. Employee #1 sustained numerous fractures and lacerations to his hands and arms.
