Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Martinez Tire Shop, had applied a patch to the inside of a Michelin single rim tire and was inflating the tire. The tire was leaning upright on a pole in the repair area as he inflated it. Employee #1 was in front of the tire, holding the air chuck to inflate the tire, when the sidewall blew out. The compressed air struck Employee #1, knocking him into the wall of the building. Employee #1 later died as a result of his injuries.
