Deuce and a half split rims? PASS. Those could be deadly as you
seated the bead. I know a guy who rode one and lived. And I saw a
video of one take a guy's head clean off. If they taught you split

The bulged pipe and rebar cage for inflating them clearly showed what can
happen, and they made sure I understood the procedure.
