ON OCTOBER 24, 1985, AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30 PM, EMPLOYEE #1 AND ANOTHER EMPLOYEE WERE SERVICING A MULTI-PIECE RIM WHEEL FROM A SEMI-TRUCK. SINCE IT WAS A ROAD SERVICE CALL, THE TWO WERE WORKING OUT OF THEIR SERVICE TRUCK. THEY HAD TROUBLE REMOVNG THE LOCKING RING, BUT EVENTUALLY PRIED IT OFF. THEY REPLACED THE TUBE AND FLAP AND REASSEMBLED THE RIM. THE SERVICE TRUCK WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH ANY KIND OF RESTRAINING DEVICE SO THE TIRE WAS BEING SERVICED ON THE GROUND. WHEN THE EMPLOYEES INFLATED THE TIRE AN EXPL;OSIVE SEPARATION OF THE RIM WHEEL COMPONENTS OCCURRED. BOTH EMPLOYEES WERE STRUCK BY WHEEL COMPONENTS AND KNOCKED INTO THE AIR ABOUT 3 FEET.
