   If you hung around shops and work spaces at any time I'm sure you have   
   seen and heard all kinds of things.  Yes split rims are as dangerous as   
   they say they are.  I never saw one go, but I met a fellow who was   
   leaning over one when it went, and it bounced him off the ceiling 16   
   feet up.  Broke a couple ribs, and took the tips off two of his fingers.

   The Army motor pool had a cage welded from rebar for inflating split rims.   
   The bulge on one side showed why it was needed.   
      
   I've heard of beads being glued so they wouldn't pull loose after running   
   flat and could be patched and reinflated on the road. The tires on my older   
   garden tractor were glued too tightly for me and almost for a tire shop.   
      
   After cleaning the bead seating surfaces what do you paint them with?
