The most footage I could find.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfhbUSFSmQI

So the guy was trying to extort money from the truck owner, stabbed the tire and the knife was actually ejected into his arm. You can see the blood and the messed up arm.

Edit: Actually I'm not sure about the cause of the injury. It could have been simply from the force of the explosion, but I'm no expert.

[–]Deecimal 15 points16 points ago

"In communist china, tire slashes you" - youtuber

[–]Courtnehhh 8 points9 points ago

I find it odd how he just gets up and walks away like it's not even a bad injury when his arm looks so fucked up

[–]asm_ftw 13 points14 points ago

I can say from experience (althought nowhere near this scale) that adrenaline is the most effective pain reliever.

[–]PoWn3d_0704 8 points9 points ago

That is for sure. I lasted an entire 2 minutes before I realized my shoulder didn't work right. Turns out my collarbone was sticking out of my body.

[–]theodrixx 7 points8 points ago

Shock.

[–]Atrei 28 points29 points ago

Looks to me like his forearm is a lot shorter than it should be.

There's white sticking out at the end, looks like bone.

It looks like a lot more than the knife getting stuck in him. To me, at least.

[–]jish92 14 points15 points ago

After reading your comment I watched the gif again and his hand totally blew off! Holy shit!

[–]Bioluminesce 31 points32 points ago

No it is still attached, I think the explosion pushed his hand away at such a high velocity it snapped his radius and ulna into bits giving the illusion of a stump instead of a hand. I think his friend may have picked up a finger or something at the end when they walk away however.

[–]HeyOP 7 points8 points ago

Maybe, but I think that was the tool he used to pop the tire.

[–]Pengii23 2 points3 points ago

Can't tell if his friend is picking up part of his buddy's bone or if it was the tool used to pop the tire. I don't know what kind of tool it would have been though because the thing his buddy picked up wasn't sharp looking at all.

I think that white thing that was picked up at the end was part of his buddy's bone and I have no idea where the knife looking tool went after the tire blew up. I say knife looking tool because it kind of looks like he was fiddling with something as he was walking over to pop the tire in the beginning of the video.

All in all, this was certainly instant karma.

[–]Dethzul -1 points0 points ago

I think if his hand was blown off, they would of done more about it then quick grab the bone off the floor and bail

[–]Bioluminesce 3 points4 points ago

You mean the one that is in his arm? The knife that is.

[–]fromhades -1 points0 points ago

to me it looked like he damaged his arm after being thrown onto the concrete steps

[–]teganthevegan 3 points4 points ago

If you watch the youtube video you can see his hand is still there once he stands up.

[–]Musicray 0 points1 point ago

Something lands near the bottom of the truck.. Not sure what it is though

[–]A_walmart_greeter 5 points6 points ago

You are correct. The air pressure in big cargo trucks like this is wayyy higher thanon a standard car. The tires are a lot thicker and can hold very high pressures. Like up in the hundreds where a standard car/truck tends to range from 30-60lbs of pressure. So when he slashed the tire, a few hundred pounds per square inch of pressure shot out of the cut he made and blew him up

[–]fireinthesky7 11 points12 points ago

That would explain why a truck tire blowout pretty much covers the entire width of a highway.

[–]giraffricanamerican 8 points9 points ago

That and 90% of those tires are probably retreads so they just kind of explode into shreds. That also explains the frequency of the blowouts if you were ever wondering.

[–]fireinthesky7 2 points3 points ago

I actually was wondering, given that I see the remains of truck tires a couple of times a week, if not more. I almost hit a tire carcass on my motorcycle today, some of the rubber looked like it had actually melted.

[–]tamarockstar 8 points9 points ago

The tire is likely over 100 psi. That is 3 times more pounds per square inch of pressure than an average car tire. Not to mention the volume in those truck tires is much greater than an average tire. It's basically setting off a bomb.

[–]clvralias 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for that explanation, I was wondering how this happened

[–]pinkfloyd873 3 points4 points ago

"asked the store owner for extortion" I don't think the poster of the video has any idea what extortion is

[–]lifwanian 5 points6 points ago

Expert here: He was hurt.

[–]Shorvok 9 points10 points ago

Truck tires are reinforced with wire. Stuff is pretty sharp when it tears apart from a blowout or something like that.

Possible a piece of the tire just sliced his arm open.

[–]dweebcentric 2 points3 points ago

the lag between he and other guy leaving and others coming around to stand and ogle is almost comical.

[–]drewb53 0 points1 point ago

anyone find it odd that the tire is still almost fully inflated after the whole deal? I would have thought it would have deflated quicker.

[–]ativa2 26 points27 points ago

It's a dually, so there's another tire supporting all the weight.

[–]Bfeezey 2 points3 points ago

I was stopped at a light and one of these types of tires blew on a trash truck next to me. My windows were down and the force shattered my windshield. It was on the way to work and on the way home I got a fix it ticket from a highway patrolman. He didn't believe me.

[–]PinballWizrd 1 point2 points ago

It was the force of the explosion. That looks like an extremely heavy truck, which means that there was A LOT of pressure in that tire and it was released all at once.

[–]revosfts 1 point2 points ago

As someone who works around high pressure, this kills the arm.

[–]MegaVega 0 points1 point ago

You can see in the video that the blood is actually squirting from his arm due to hitting/ severing an artery. If that dude doesnt get that shit addressed quickly, hes pretty much dead.

[–]Slap-The-Bass 469 points470 points ago

blew his shirt right the fuck off!

[–]surrealasm_atwork 513 points514 points ago

[–]GMonkey123 81 points82 points ago

The tire could at least buy him dinner first before blowing him.

[–]KingofCraigland 21 points22 points ago

You also could have gone with "he could at least buy the tire dinner before sticking it in 'em."

[–]JordoHatesYou 36 points37 points ago

[–]dweebcentric 5 points6 points ago

Ditto.

[–]A1Skeptic 2 points3 points ago

Thought I'd die!

[–]THE_APE_SHIT_KILLER 11 points12 points ago

And his right arm

Edit: After looking at it frame by frame I seem to have been mistaken. Although the last couple of frames do look like his arm is damaged.

[–]NagantG17 19 points20 points ago

The damage you see on his arm was caused by the knife blowing back and stabbing into him

[–]omnipotent87 8 points9 points ago

Well, considering that more than likely it broke his arm i don't think the knife did it. Trucks like that have over 100psi in their tires and that would be plenty to break bones. In the last couple frames you can see his arm doesn't sit right. The knife may have done something but the air pressure alone could shred his arm.

[–]bobbyblex 9 points10 points ago

My arm would hurt too if it went through the Earth.

[–]Yoshiki03 5 points6 points ago

The video itself has been posted several times. It continues for a bit after this GIF ends. You get a better idea of the extent of his injuries from that. As NagantG17 says, it's mainly a laceration from the blade being blown back into him.

[–]asm_ftw 1 point2 points ago

Too lazy to go on liveleak for the video, but i remember the last time this was posted, it showed the guy getting up, and his arm was bleeding very badly and wobbling around awkwardly. it definitely ruined his arm.

[–]drawingdead0 0 points1 point ago

[–]NormalStranger 74 points75 points ago

My uncle was working on a truck when the tire ruptured right in front of his face. He had to get reconstructive surgery afterwards. This is after a giant log took out his baby makers. My family has shit luck.

[–]Artie_Fufkins_Fapkin 70 points71 points ago

Your uncle has shit luck

[–]TheDentite 34 points35 points ago

That's all OP has left, due to all the shit luck.

[–]rocketman0739 3 points4 points ago

The movie was not terrible! It was...okay.

[–]TheToothlessDentist 1 point2 points ago

I learned a lot of big words from those books as a kid.

[–]HydroCabron 14 points15 points ago

a giant log took out his baby makers

I'm trying to help out here, and help myself, comprehension-wise. Is this a log from a tree, or did he take a shit so huge it blew out his balls?

I hate to put it this way, but I hope it's the former.

[–]NormalStranger 6 points7 points ago

He was working for a logging company. While the machine was loading the wood onto the truck, something happened and one of the trees fell out of the truck and (details super fuzzy here), he was in the hospital with crushed testicles.

[–]wnz 3 points4 points ago

So he got wood in his wood?

[–]pavel_lishin 2 points3 points ago

At least he survived. Guy in my home town died when a tire blew near his head.

[–]MertsA 1 point2 points ago

At least no one has to worry about his children sharing his bad luck...

[–]IR0NFIRE 35 points36 points ago

His shoes stayed on, he's fine.

[–]f1r3cr0tch 5 points6 points ago

Reminds of the episode of Mythbusters where they try and figure how much force is required to "knock your socks off."

[–]HashHound 14 points15 points ago

Its like every fucking person on reddit beats me to MY thought.

[–]f1r3cr0tch 3 points4 points ago

Sorry, bro. I'll hold off next time. Here, take an upvote.

[–]AgreesWithIdiots 3 points4 points ago

Hey, I thought of saying that! Asshole.

[–]anarkie751 58 points59 points ago

Was he slashing tires?

[–]Fearlessleader85 85 points86 points ago

Yes, slashing a truck tire that was probably at around 110 PSI.

Moral of the story: Don't fuck around with truck tires.

[–]padmadfan 147 points148 points ago

To give you some idea of how much energy is in 110 PSI, you can do this with the normal atmospheric PSI of 14.69 that is surrounding us all right now.

Edit: My tortured sentence structure.

[–]Cool_sandwich 48 points49 points ago

He seems like a fun teacher.

[–]Midwest_Product 18 points19 points ago

But this is 6th grade material being covered in a gigantic university classroom.

[–]darkpaladin 42 points43 points ago

It's BYU, just be glad they're admitting science exists.

[–]zab329 21 points22 points ago

Your comment aggravates me, I'm sure the course material went well beyond that, but it was an entertaining demonstration before I'm sure they studied the mechanics and calculations behind it. You're just circle jerking, "college is a waste", why can't we take anything for what it is and enjoy the entertaining clip...

[–]jarhead930 4 points5 points ago

I don't think that's what he meant at all. I think he meant that BYU is a garbage university. Which it kinda is.

[–]asshatastic 4 points5 points ago

[–]erock0546 9 points10 points ago

[–]HoldmysunnyD 7 points8 points ago

My high school physics teacher and I set one of these up one day, but we used two pieces of tin foil to seal the exit of the tube, and one to seal the "entrance" of the air. This was done so that you don't need to breach the seal; we just let the vacuum run its course. At the other end, a foot or two from the tube, an empty soda can was placed, which the ping-pong ball shot clean through.

Think on that for a moment. What velocity would the ping-pong ball need, given it's small mass, to go through the soda can, instead of bouncing off of it, crumpling it, or just forcing it to recoil?

Would this happen with car tires?

[–]oldfurr 9 points10 points ago

No, car tires run about 1/3 the pressure and have a much smaller volume. Not that they can't still injure you.

[–]sp1ashy 3 points4 points ago

most car tires range from like 30-50 PSI at most, so not really.

[–]je_kay24 0 points1 point ago

But, you can fill them up to near 90 PSI before they explode. So the pressure can get up there is overfilled.

If I'm seeing this right that guy may be checking to see whether or not the tire needs some air. On heavy trucks it's easy to tell if tires are low by smacking them with a blunt object...

unless that is a fucking knife, in which case - fuck him!
