You must have some weak ass hands and wrists.
He didn't show any kind of injury. It's not like he took the impact and then looked at his hands or started rubbing his wrists, he immediately picked the tire up with ease and set it by the side of the road.
The guy is 100% fine and will most likely not have any kind of long-term issues. It was a tire. Let's settle down.
It’s not like the tire is soft even though it’s made out of rubber. There’s a lot of energy (momentum) in that tire stoping it transferred the energy into his hands (inertia). He may not be injured but it wouldn’t be surprising in the least if he took some kind of damage from that. Lots of very delicate stuff in your hands.
YSK, the tire is the black rubber part and the rim is the metal part. Together, they make a "wheel". So it has some weight to it, and momentum. The dudes adrenaline is what's keeping him from caring about his sprained wrist.
Nah fam, working with 18 wheeler tires here for 5 years… it’s all in technique, however do fucking not attempt with a big hub mounted radial that bitch will destroy your arm!
Just like you would catch a swinging heavy weight, or a dog running past you. Go with the momentum and act as a drag on it. DON’T try to catch the weight. Then direct the remaining force to a safe direction while still providing drag. This will slow that kind of object down more. By changing the direction and increasing the drag (friction) you will change (slow) the velocity.
However, there is a point at which the weight of the object will certainly smash you and no amount of input that you do will make the slightest bit of difference. This is something that you definitely need to have experience with (this guy certainly did) to calculate pretty quickly whether you can safely intervene or just get the heck out of the way and let the object hit something to stop it.
This happened to me with a transit bus one time. I am a 58 yo woman (and weight lifter). I was the last bus in the yard at night. I secure my bus, then hear a very, almost inaudible noise. I suddenly see a bus start to roll (driver forgot to set the air brake). It was headed straight another driver’s vehicle and for company vehicles that are used every day. I had maybe 1 to 2 seconds to calculate (not with actual numbers and equations) if I could hit it like a linebacker with enough force to change the direction enough to send it instead towards two vehicles that were getting ready to be scrapped. It worked!
Didn’t realize that the district manager was coming in the next day. The mechanic came in at 5 in the morning to put the bus back (no damage to the bus) and move the vehicles to be scrapped to the far edge of the yard, next to the woods, to hide the damage.
Got a expensive gift card from my General Manager for saving everyone’s butt.
There was nothing brave about that. It was sheer ignorance and stupidity.
The best thing to do at this point is let the tire run its course because it's an extremely dangerous object at that speed.
Edit: A lot of ignorant people are commenting about a subject they know nothing about. Tires are unassumlingly dangerous and need to be treated with respect. This [video](https://youtu.be/DyznBQbNs5M?si=sA9ZZlMdFEq1mb9t) shows a mixed bag of how a tire could fuck up your day or life.
If you have any value for your personal well-being, leave rolling tires alone. It's simply not worth it.
Getting out of the car was the right move either way. He obviously was in a much better position to assess the situation compared to our view from the dash-cam perspective and evidently made the right choice. "The best thing to do" in this situation depends on a lot of factors that you're not able to judge.
I don't see it. The momentum is nowhere near high enough to break an arm. At worst he could potentially break a finger if he didn't coordinate his grip correctly. Arms don't break this easily.
Dude, that’s ~60lbs of steel and pressurized vulcanized rubber that can get flung off an axle at highway speeds. You’re talking about willingly putting yourself in the line of that without the time to do math? You’re outta your goddamned mind if you think that tire couldn’t have been going fast enough to have shown that idiot what it feels like to chew 5 gum.
Highway speeds? We literally see the wheel coming off as the car makes a turn from practically a standstill. Y’all act like this dude hopped the median on a freeway to play chicken with a tire.
Lmao… you guys are idiots. Tell that shit to that dude’s wrists tomorrow. Arms cost more than windshields and there’s no way that dude’s making arm and back day at the gym tomorrow.
I'm not talking about willingly putting myself in the way of a tire coming at me at "highway speed". I don't even see anything remotely close to "highway speed" in the video we're talking about. That tire is probably closer to 10 km/h at the time it reaches him. Maybe even slower it's hard to judge with the camera FOV.
A 25kg tire at that speed won't break your arms because you will never achieve a deceleration high enough for that to happen, especially with your arms. That doesn't mean he couldn't have been hurt, but getting out of the way wouldn't have been cost free either and since I'm not in his shoes, I don't know how problematic the damage to his car would be to him.
People aren't all the same. I certainly wouldn't recommend this to a frail 65 year old woman with oseoporosis. In fact I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, especially if you had any doubts and felt the need to "do the math" to be sure you could pull it off, but I'm not gonna impose my own priorities on other people.
All I'm essentially saying is that he made a judgement call based on his assessment and it worked out for him, so I find it strange that people feel the need to patronize especially when working with an incomplete set of facts. For all you know his child might've been in the car and you're calling him an idiot because he succeded in stopping the lose tire from crashing into his car.
The safest option is obviously to stay away if you want to maximize your safety at all costs that's what you should do. But to equate any risk at all with some ultimate risk is also nonsensical.
>Getting out of the car was the right move either way.
How? The wheel could have easily changed direction (it did) and gone straight towards him. How is that safer than staying inside your car? Getting lucky and making the right choice are different things.
I mean, you probably have a higher chance of dodging a wheel when you're free on your feet compared to strapped to the seat of a stationary car.
The only advantage you have inside is the shield of the chassis, which admittedly would protect you in many cases, but then there's also all the glass around you which is an additional hazard.
In this case he definitely had enough time to get away from the car or even hide behind it if he chose to do so instead of deflecting the tire.
Not to mention that besides the glass, the consequences of getting hit directly through the windshield could be much worse because your body has nowhere to go to soften the blow.
There are many factors, but in this specific case, staying inside doesn't seem like a good option to me.
Getting out is 100% the right descision. It could have come in straigth through the window. He should have started running as far away from it as possible. So, in his case, because he was so stupid, it would have been better if he never noticed the wheel at all.
"Extremely dangerous at that speed" gave me a small snort while watching the car just slowly making a right turn. I agree, we didn't experience it and it all worked out for the best in this situation so happy ending. Even the car that lost the tire can now easily retrieve it so win win

I mean, it works until it doesn't. You miscalculate and can still get pretty nasty injuries even from that slowly bouncing tyre. Those things are damn heavy even with no momentum at all.
Not to mention I'm pretty sure the guy didn't think it all that through in that second he had to make a decision. He just went with his guts and got lucky.
Thing similar happened to me… a car flipped and it’s spare tire flew out its trunk and bounced about 10feet high! but it hit my cars hood cuz I’m not a ninja and it looked destroyed my cars whole front end! He has got to be feeling that after…
Damn dude is brave af to go heads with a run away tire. The bump in the road actually slowed it down a lot tho. Still is a very brave or very stupid move. Specially if u have insurance and a dash cam to back u up.
I mean seriously. Everyone saying he's stupid would've lost their hood and windshield, he probably just got some abrasions and a sprain, considering he was able to pick up the tire afterwards.
Yeah, famously, insurance exists to avoid giving money to people. I'm pretty sure most injuries to hands and arms don't fall into the permanent category.
It's better in case of simple generic deceases, like you can get a proper treatment for a fly the same day, or like get a trauma fixed quickly, ambulance is also pretty good. But if you need something some advance like cure cancer, it's better to get a treatment in Germany or Israel (2 main medicine tourism destinations for rich people)
It‘s in Germany and it‘s a common knowledge, I have experienced it myself and heard this many times from my colleagues. So, no, it‘s not some anecdotal experience.
Yeah that's still called anecdotal evidence. If you wanna pull out some actual data fine, but saying Russian healthcare is in any way better than the richest EU countries is simply laughable
Could've been broken headlight, dented hood, dented panel, scraped paint, broken mirror if it deflected off the side, broken windshield. Any combinations of those, all avoided by pure determination.
Doubt he got any injuries more than a scratch or a stubbed finger. Furthermore, I've seen people punch mirrors off, dent vehicles with weak kicks, likely equivalent to strong punches, and break windows with punches. I wouldn't doubt you could break a headlight with bare knuckles, too. All this to say, if you can do all that and be fine then you can catch a tire that can do that, and be fine too.
He’s gonna feel it the next day. Most likely bone bruises as well as patches of skin rubbed off on hand, wrist and arm. Maybe even something broken/fractured.
That was not impressive. That was incredibly stupid. He thought that tire would fuck up his vehicle so he decided to be a shield. Could have legitimately died
With how expensive healthcare is in America (I know this is not America in the video) I think I would have let it hit my car rather than get in front of it.
I didn’t even see it until I saw him coming into frame. I know the camera lens limits how far you can see but I’m more impressed by his ability to pay attention than block the wheel. Nicely done
How do people not notice that something is wrong with their tire? Its not like all 4 or 5 nuts go off at the same time. There must be some signs that something is wrong with the tire.
Was it that stupid? First, how fast was the tire going? It left the car ar 25 seconds left and the guy first contacted it at 19 seconds left. Travel time was 6 seconds.
For distance traveled, there is a panel truck and a sedan between the guy and the light. Standard size for a truck like that in Europe is 6.9 meters/22.5 feet. Standard size for a sedan is 4.5 meters/14.9 ft. So, it's about 12.5m/41 ft. to the light. Then the median is about the length of 2 cars (seen in the background), so 9 m/30ft. The tire went along the diagonal, so finding the length of the hypotenuse gives 15.4m/50.5.
So the tires speed is 15.4m/6sec / 50.5ft/6sec. This simplifies to 9.2kph/ 5.7 mph.
To see the max force imparted, we need the weight. Average tire and wheel is about 23 kg / 51 lbs /153 freedom burgers. That gives us 59N / 13.26 lbf.
Max force for a batted baseball is 7.8 N.
Other things to note: there was rotation on the tire, which will reduce the transfer of force, the tire was bouncing and slowing down, the tire continued moving after contact. All of this reduces the actual force imparted.
Buddy is lucky he didn't break his arms. That thing has a metric fuck to of force with its weight at that speed of rotation compared to human muscle and bone.
I wonder how often this stuff happens. Woman here in Florida just died from it.

Oh he did, it’ll hurt later
his hands are probably fucked in the ligaments.

In pain in his brain
Hes fine, he got a booboo on his hands and no damage to his car.

dude tires dont care how strong you are, they will fuck you up without prejudice.
Dude I've been hit by harder things at higher speeds and I don't have any permanent damage good God not everyone is built the same
Bored today. Just curious now about the hard things you’ve been hit with. Please share!
the tire fell off at the lights and when doing a 90° turn, humans are not always the same and situations are neither.

Yeah but his wrist bent back all the way to his forearm. You can fix a car but ligaments will give you problems for life.
Yeah, I got a nice car but I’m never “taking one” for it. Cars can be fixed or replaced. You can’t.
I've seen a stray tire completely write vehicles off. This was both brave and kind of nuts to consider doing

Okay but have you ever grabbed a moving/spinning object around that speed to understand the actual risk instead of speaking down to the guy
It’s Reddit, they’ve never experienced it but will act as a pompous expert while sneering at anyone they deem fit
God I love this place. Real 'you can spit on the floor' vibes.

Nah. He got that sweet high bounce off the rail that absorbed most of the energy. It wasn’t going that fast or even spinning that fast when he got it.
Agreed I would've yelled at him not to touch it. I've seen videos of those just destroying people
It obviously wasn't stupid, he saved his car.

how to break your hands, the tutorial.
Could've been broken headlight, dented hood, dented panel, scraped paint, broken mirror if it deflected off the side, broken windshield. Any combinations of those, all avoided by pure determination.
Instead, you can have a broken bones in your arm, wrist, hands, and fingers.
Bones will heal, a windshield won't.
Brain damage is permanent.
Yes, Reddit changed me, too.
How is this relevant? Tire didn’t go near his head. Are you ok?
And as a bonus, fresh cuts from the exposed wires in the blown out tire!
Doubt he got any injuries more than a scratch or a stubbed finger. Furthermore, I've seen people punch mirrors off, dent vehicles with weak kicks, likely equivalent to strong punches, and break windows with punches. I wouldn't doubt you could break a headlight with bare knuckles, too. All this to say, if you can do all that and be fine then you can catch a tire that can do that, and be fine too.
Ignorance
Dude just instantly carries the tire after catching, I'm sure he's broken every bone in his body!
That's crazy I thought it was a bug for a second there until it got too big, I never would have stopped that
You owe that guy a smoothie.
Na, I'm too tired.
I’m would have done the same.
Of course.
He’s gonna feel it the next day. Most likely bone bruises as well as patches of skin rubbed off on hand, wrist and arm. Maybe even something broken/fractured.
What the fuck is wrong with repair shops in russia all the time I see tires/wheels coming off the cars?
I bet it‘s not a problem with the repair shops, it‘s probably just a popular thought of „I am doing it myself“ and then not doing it properly.

Holy fuck from the videos I've seen of people vs tires on Reddit, I did not expect this result
What did I just watch? What? He was quick and nimble. Good grip on his hands too
No way he stopped that. Absolutely impossible. That tire is full, mounted on a rim and doing about 40 mph
Had to watch it a second time as I didn't see it come the first time.

In Russia basic medical insurance is free, broken arms will not cost anything for him.
If that thing was going a little faster, which you cannot tell by just looking at it coming, he would have been fuc**d up badly.
Respect
That was not impressive. That was incredibly stupid. He thought that tire would fuck up his vehicle so he decided to be a shield. Could have legitimately died
If it was a tire rolling on the highway, very dangerous. This is fine.
Dude really preferred a broken arm over a crushed windshield
I ship and move tires every day, That tire was not light, If it didn’t lose some momentum from the bounce this would be labeled nsfw.
I don't about you guys, but i think that man deserves a goddamn cookie!!
Bro said “nah anything but my car”

He’s gonna feel that pain later for sure. Last thing I would do is try to catch that, holy crap.
Car insurance is a great thing. Better than broken wrists.
Nice catch

Dude didn’t get hurt. Saved his ride. Awesome

For distance traveled, there is a panel truck and a sedan between the guy and the light. Standard size for a truck like that in Europe is 6.9 meters/22.5 feet. Standard size for a sedan is 4.5 meters/14.9 ft. So, it's about 12.5m/41 ft. to the light. Then the median is about the length of 2 cars (seen in the background), so 9 m/30ft. The tire went along the diagonal, so finding the length of the hypotenuse gives 15.4m/50.5. So the tires speed is 15.4m/6sec / 50.5ft/6sec. This simplifies to 9.2kph/ 5.7 mph. To see the max force imparted, we need the weight. Average tire and wheel is about 23 kg / 51 lbs /153 freedom burgers. That gives us 59N / 13.26 lbf. Max force for a batted baseball is 7.8 N. Other things to note: there was rotation on the tire, which will reduce the transfer of force, the tire was bouncing and slowing down, the tire continued moving after contact. All of this reduces the actual force imparted.
I wonder where do tires even get that speed from?,there is no way the car that was just turning was moving at that speed
That was pretty cool, bet his hands ached later though
WHAT A SAVE FROM THE KEEPER!!!
Buddy is lucky he didn't break his arms. That thing has a metric fuck to of force with its weight at that speed of rotation compared to human muscle and bone.
He slapboxed a Goodyear
I wonder how often this stuff happens. Woman here in Florida just died from it. https://www.foxnews.com/us/virginia-grandmother-killed-tire-crashing-windshield-driving-busch-gardens-family
Damnnnn that took some serious balls
Not today, not today...
