I did a lot of truck tire bustin' in the 60-70s on all those split rims. I didn't have a cage but I put them under the arms of my floor hoist. I had a customers rim that was really damaged from hitting curbs so I wasn't surprised when it blew. I clipped the air hose on and got back about 10 feet. Talk about scaring the bajeezers out of me, even when I expected it!! It still tore the air hose apart. Craig
