“Crowd went from ‘YEEEEAH’ to silent prayer real quick,” one user commented.

As a gamer, let me spin it this way: “Imagine if I had to report a mishap like this to insurance. ‘Oh yes, you say some monster truck tire flew through the air and smashed my ride? Nope, can’t help you with that claim.’

In the widely-shared truck accident, the exact size of the tire isn’t clear, but Monster Jam mentions that their standard BKT tires for trucks have a diameter of 66 inches and a width of 43 inches, with each tire, including the wheel, weighing approximately 645 pounds.
