Oops. One time I was using a compressor to put some air in the tire of customer’s bike who just wheeled it in saying it was low. I was squeezing the tire and it didn’t seem to be getting any more firm as I filled the tube. Little did I know there was a big hole in the sidewall on the other side of the tire; the tube was bulging out the tire as I filled until it suddenly burst. So loud and so surprising! It blasted dust and dirt right into my eyes and I was blind and deaf for a scary minute.
