yup a friend of mine was at the local park riding a bmx, he hit the coping on a ramp and the wheel shifted. He bent down to adjust the brake pads so he could keep riding and it just blew up on his face! I've seen many other wheels blow up outdoors, but that guy was almost knocked over by the sound pressure!
