Wow!! Thank God you're alive.

Now - I have some questions. I think we all want to know about the tire thingy . . . What the heck????

Did you lose pressure first and then have it blow out? - kinda sounds that way from your write up.

And what type of helmet were you wearing? Half, 2/4, full . . . etc.

Everyone should learn from this as much as possible so if there's any more details please fill us in.

Dave
