Default Watch An Escaped Wheel Ring Someone's Doorbell At About 40 MPH [2/3] - Tire Hits House at 65 mph 2.webp (1/1)

Ya...not exactly on topic but interesting none the less...the guy at the end is
all of us!

Wheels dont go flying off cars too often (though its happened to me once in a
Lemons race) but when they do, they have a remarkable ability to cover some
serious, bouncy ground. This video, shot by the doorbell camera on a home in
Pataskala, Ohio, shows just how much momentum and speed an errant wheel can
maintain after it separates from whatever was spinning it in the first place.
Ding-Dong, motherlovers!

Here, watch the destruction:

Holy crap, right? That wheel just smacks that column out of the way like it was
smacking away a fly, and then it sounds like it shatters glass on the door
before helpfully ringing the doorbell.

Its not really clear what the wheel came from; it could be a trailer tire,
though it seems large enough to have come from a car, too. The hub is smoking
pretty dramatically, so perhaps the bearings seized or something like that,
which caused a enough friction to weaken the metal, snapping off the wheel and
sending it on its new mission to trash someones front door.

I especially like this look of absolute bafflement as this kid hears the
doorbell and commotion, and comes out to see a smoldering tire on the lawn and a
trashed front porch; you can almost feel the what-the-**** rays emanating right
from your monitor.

So, um, be careful out there, I guess? Do what you can to keep random wheels
from slamming into your houses, somehow.
