Michigan man killed when farm tire he was working on explodes in Tuscola County | MLive.com more detail here "The tire was on a tine rake, a farm implement, and the worker had filled it with air and was trying to seal the bead when it exploded, police said." My condolences to his family and friends

Wonder if he was trying to use the flammable gas technique to seal the bead....seems possible.
Condolences to his family and friends.

Like Dave says, it's dangerous and they have cages for that, though this individual may not been aware of them.
