do you not have a standards association where things must meet or exceed this standard and be labeled as doing so.

If one was to be punctured under load, it's unlikely to result in explosive decompression,
we don't know that, if it punctures easily it could also tear as easily and wouldn't be controlled. lifting a heavy tyre on will require you to be very close to the vehicle and any drop, sudden or otherwise might cause you to have your spine compressed if the wheel arch pushes on your head (and believe me it hurts, not injured in that way though) or the wheel catching on the studs and then flinging off in a hurry when the full weight of the D3 comes down on it.
some things in life shouldn't be done on the cheap and if the better brands could make an adequate bag at that price, they would but can't for a very good reason
Cat, whilst I totally agree with you in that you should buy the best quality especially when dealing with something as dangerous as lifting a car, anyone who sticks their head into the wheel arch when changing a wheel is a moron IMHO.
I regularly change my wheels over (between the 18's and the 17's) and have had to change one flat. I have Never had to put my head into the wheel arch to do so. (In fact, due to the large brain and ego ensconced therein, I doubt it would fit!).
But you are right, changing wheels is not to be taken lightly!Have a nice day!

who said anything about putting your head in the wheel arch. the tyre is recessed and the plastic bit sits proud and with the weight of the tyre (unless you're really strong) you'll be close to the body and if it lowers it can catch your noggin. Engrish is not my strong point.
No probs I understand, but anyway there's no need to get your head into that position with the arch either. If you are, then you're back is probably arched too much and taking too much strain.
I usually sit on the grround and lift the wheel onto the stupds, keeping my back straight and my head out of harms way.
Your point was very valid as was the one about the wheel shooting off towards you. I was just discussing in case there was anyone reading who wasn't used to changing wheels.Have a nice day!
