The wheel was on the floor with the tire mounted, and a clip-on chuck without a preset regulator or in-line valve was being used for inflation. The tube exploded, blowing the left side of the tire off the rim. The rim struck Employee #1 in the head and chest, killing him. No type of restraining device was being used at the time of the accident.
