What if your driving down a hill and the steering wheel comes off in your hand and THEN a tire blows out at the same time?

You blokes watched far too many 'Roadrunner/Coyote' cartoons growing up.

My dad was turning into a store parking lot last week and the car stopped. Wouldn't go forward or backwards. Got out and looked, front tire was turned 90 degrees, axle pulled out of transmission, or something like that. If that had happened while he was on the highway, who knows what would have happened.

And always watch out for falling anvils.

What if your driving down a hill and the steering wheel comes off in your hand and THEN a tire blows out at the same time?
Which then causes you to crash into your barn knocking you unconscious and leaving the tractor running which then kills you from CO poisoning.

I think...you think to much.
I would not worry about this.
Each time you hit the road...somebody can hit you and get killed....
We can't wrap ourselves in bubble wrap all the time...just in case something might maybe, probably not, go wrong !
My :2cents:

But if you wrap yourself up in bubble wrap, what if the all interior ones pop at once, causing high pressure, contained by the outer layer, and you can't inhale?

Or what if the bubble wrap gets wrapped around your mouth suffocating you.

Decades ago several friends and I decided to take our motocross bikes to a track about 75 miles away. I had a truck so we put 3 in it while a friend with a Honda Civic pulled the other two on one of those real cheap trailers with 8" wheels. I would say we did 65 mph on the interstate. After about 15 minutes after getting there we were putting on our gear and one of the tires on the trailer exploded. It's the first time and only time I've seen this. Of course it was probably the cheapest quality Chinese made tire. Anything can happen but the odds on a tire not just deflating but exploding when just standing still has to be extremely low.
