Blow Out leads to Death

This subject (experiencing a blowout on a front (steer) tire) has been on my mind for at least 50 years. Plus, I've studied the so-called Michelin tire-blowout video several times.
I've won 7 racing championships, and I'm the only Learjet pilot who has survived a jammed stabilizer in the full up position. I've succesfully handled many other real-life in-flight emergencies.
I owned 5 motorhomes, prior to purchasing my Dutch Star diesel pusher (in 2003).
Here's what I will do when/if I have a steer tire blowout in my Dutch Star, while driving down the interstate highway:
I will NOT be startled, I will immediately do everything appropriate with the steering wheel in order to stay in my lane, I will certainly LEAVE it in cruise control (by NOT touching the brake pedal). I will hit the switch to turn on my emergency flashers. Then I will do whatever I feel is the next correct thing to do. I will even add power, if necessary.
BTW I have been training myself to follow these Dutch Star driving procedures, because I believe in training, training, training (recurrent training all time). In commercial flying, you brief the crew every flight, and you go to recurrent training every 6 months.
Driving my Dutch Star is not for sightseeing, it's a very responsible activity.
Now, I wish somebody would explain to me why the FIRST thing you should do (in event of a tire blowout in a motorhome) is to "stand on the throttle). Also, fully explain exactly which force vectors are in play, and where they originated. Thanks

CD,
The only failing of your recovery plan is that you don't have miles of airspace under your MH to give time to recover.
If you're towing that Blazer and experience a full tire failure on the steer axle, your MH will be yawing immediately and all that about cruise control, flashers, and reasoning out a response, will be gone in an instant. To say you won't be startled is a stretch.

Excellent.

Cloud Dancer: You may think with your background that you could handle all situations in a blowout but 99.5% of us here don't have your background so what you would do would not be our experience.

This type of accident happens in SECONDS. No one knows how their RV will be damaged with the blowout and consequently how it will handle in those first seconds.

No one knows how their first reaction would be in those SECONDS.

Would you be driving a hairpin turn with a big drop alongside you?

Will it happen on black ice to double the experience?

Will you be on an interstate with full traffic in all directions?

Will you be on a secondary road with a forest of trees on both sides?

No one knows how they or the RV will do until it happens. Hopefully, it won't happen. Check your tires before ever ride, keep them properly inflated and most of all, replace them by age; not by looks.

Two things:
You did not mention the first thing I would do, which is to immediately control the MH with the steering wheel (it's intuitive, and you do it in less than ONE second). Keep in mind, that you're already doing it as you drive down the interstate. Now, if you panic at the sound and the feel of a blowout, IMO you're a substandard driver.
Secondly, there's no such thing as "miles of airspace" under you when one engine fails at Vr or below. What you see and feel is significant yaw, at about 120 MPH (as you speed down the runway). Yes, I've experienced that also, and immediately arrested the yaw, and gained speed on the power from the other engine, and flew off to a safe holding pattern.
The important thing is that this is not about me, it's about what everybody else will do. That's the stimulus that we should promote.
