You said that compressed air in tires might be "unreasonable".  Well, it is
not.  In this case familiarity breeds contempt.  I put air in tires without a
though all the time, but I know one guy who was killed by a flying piece of a
truck rim.  Hit in the head.  I also saw a guy who had surgery on both arms
because an AUTOMOTIVE tire failed in some weird spectacular way.  He was
working in a shop and was getting an old wheel and tire off a shelf.  It
dropped and hit the ground.  It exploded and was propelled upward into his
forearms.  Both were broken like matchsticks.
