Terrible tragedy, thoughts to the racer and family. I don't know the situation other than the online speculation, but I will say of the variables involved, blaming the tire is premature. We can all learn from experiences, I know I have and luckily enough only ended up with a broken arm with what happened to me, since then I do not trust racing wheels and have made my own device with a gauge to inflate a tire onto the bead from a distance. Definitely not Aaron's fault, any racing team you see will mount a tire with there arms and body inside the danger zone of the wheel. I encourage everyone I see mounting a tire to create their own tire mounting tool. These type of incidents, generally, the wheels fail, not the tire. I will not comment further. Unfortunate.
