That looks like a neat piece of kit! Simple and safe too.
Win win.

Even with the strap, and the bazooka in the background,
these guys opted for the flames!

With the flame you have little if any control.



What ever could go wrong?

No mention in that article of using a flammable liquid or vapor to
seat the bead explosively.

Tyres have the potential to *create their own* flammable gas inside the
tyre. It is why those truck tyres explode and why an inert gas
(nitrogen) is used to fill them.


Plenty of stories about exploding tires on
split rims from improper technique which have nothing to do with fire.

Changed plenty of them over the years - it's more about incompetent
operators than it is about the split rims.

Incompetent operators using - wait for it - "improper technique" -
and there have been many "competent" operators who have died oe been
injured - and many more saved by the cage - which is whythe cage is
MANDATORY

This is why large truck tires on split rims are inflated in safety
cages.
