I saw this video months before my blow out on my RV. I was very happy to have been able to control that RV at that time. There was no warning and I was going highway speed and just reached the summit in Cajon Pass Ca. Thanks !
@@bigpapa247 Huh?
Saw this video at the Escapee RV Boot Camp in Goshen last week.
They delivered a ton of great safety tips for RV owners. A real fun and worthwhile vacation was had at their 54th Escapade. Our first, but not our last. :-)
Strong testimonial for Tire Pressure Monitor systems
Legend has it the guy with the old man tennis shoes and blown tire is still driving...with it floored.
Now that's funny!
Well now, that was a very useful piece of training! Thanks!
That’s right NEVER BRAKE
Who didn't like this? Great information.
Gotta loves these 90s informational videos
I've had several blowouts on my class C, the worst was a double blowout on the right rear on the freeway in an off-cambered left turn. The thing felt like it was gonna fall on it's side initially, but didn't and was totally controllable. I casually pulled to the side while radioing to my friends that I was stopping and would need to borrow a spare to make my dual set. My GF was in the passenger seat and nearly had a heart attack at the explosions. She was somewhat comforted but also concerned that I would grab the CB mike and have a casual conversation while all hell was breaking loose underneath us and I wasn't standing on the brakes and swerving to the shoulder as some would do. She'd had a bad roll-over wreck in her Explorer after a blowout. If one is calm and just controls the vehicle a blowout is only an inconvenience.
I have experienced steer tire blowouts two different times on two different big rigs. This video explains what to do . Both times I was fully loaded once in a refrigerated van and another on a fully loaded car carrier. Both times I maintained control as explained . I had to change under shorts, however.
one tire blows, floor it....another tire blows, hit the nitrous
+Scarce Logic what if they all blow out?
+SnaggingBark97 then we go to the speed of plaid
Scarce Logic oh shit
I laughed so hard at that comment. Good one.
👌😂😂😂
That was a very good video. I have had 2 rear tire blowouts on a 29' motorhome. I never hit the brakes, just let up on the accelerator. This video totally makes sense. Hopefully I will never have another one, but now I will know the right thing to do. Thank you.
It's worse when they're front tires because it can drastically interfere with steering.
Your point is well-taken. Here's a newspaper article from central SC:
Florida man dies after motorhome tire blows, veers off I-95
Posted Sunday, July 24, 2016 9:17 am
A Florida man was killed on Interstate 95 on Saturday afternoon, after his motorhome ran off the roadway and struck several trees, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
Michael McBriar, 63, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, died on the scene, according to Clarendon County Deputy Coroner Bucky Mock. The cause of death is pending, and an autopsy is scheduled for Monday morning, Mock said.
McBriar was traveling north on I-95, near the 105 mile marker, when the left front tire of his 2002 Holiday Rambler Motorhome blew out, causing the vehicle to run off the roadway and into several trees, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Corporal Matt Southern.
The incident occurred at 4:51 p.m.
The driver was wearing a seat belt and was entrapped in the vehicle, Southern said.
Hey, I was driving my father's Ford Ranger with cap, and thought I was in the largest pot hole ever. It was dark out, on a four lane hwy. Well, I finally saw what was wrong, when the drivers side tire and wheel passed me..:-) I sped up and used the steering and speed to get the truck up off the rotor, and drove for about 3/4 of a mile...as I kept an eye on the runaway tire. There just happened to be a lot of traffic that evening and drivers saw all the sparks when the tire came off, so they gave the runaway tire the right of way. Once I got to the top of my exit ramp, there was a turn, so I decided to stop there. I lowered my speed and slowly the truck went back down on the rotor. I was able to stop safely. Tow truck driver stated only one lug nut was tightened on wheel. Funny part was when I called my family for help. They thought I was joking and asked where the tire was and how bad it was. Lol At that point I told them, "Tire last seen traveling at a high rate of speed, heading North on route 495". Lol Anyways, like the man in this video says, never give up...:-)
Fantastic video. Thanks so much!
thebp9999 remember Floor It! Lol 😂
Since they used det chord, it really IS a blowout! Tyre maintenance is definitely NOT something that should be neglected.
I will ask for det cord as a sealer for the bead on my next tire
I just learned something new I’ve been driving summers overthrew the youth
I was on a bus trip and we were going to annapolis marylad when POP!!!! The tire blows! The rear inside tire blew and thank goodness for a good driver!
phillies4100 You shouldn't have any change in handling with an inside tire blowout.
I'm glad this guy is normal and wears white gym socks with gym shoes
at 6:20 we also see it is necessary to wear two shirts
Saw a car pulling a small camper had a tire blow out on the trailer causing it to swerve all over the road until the driver gained his composure and floored it untill the tire blew on other side and straightened it right out.
I was 3 days old when this video was made!
our DMV tells CDL students to keep off gas and brake and slow down to under 15 then use light breaking.
That would be the proper course of action AFTER accelerating and correcting steering to regain/maintain control.
Also check to make sure you don't have any defective Goodyear tires ... they made some that have caused at least 9 deaths so far.
Good idea. I've never owned or driven a motorhome. But I have had my share of tires blow out on me. They're all scary as hell. I didn't know what to do, how to respond. What I usually did was turn on the 4 way emergency flashing lights, let the car I was driving gradually slow to a stop. The only time I used the foot brake was once I was at a complete stop. I then engaged the parking brake. I hope I did the right thing.
Drive with cruise control....when the tire blows, slowing will occur, the Cruise will begin supplying more power automatically. After you have control, you will step on the brake and this will disengage the cruise.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
when in doubt, throttle up. blew my bike rear tire on the highway. Throttle control while going sideways, scary as fuck but didnt crash thou. braking is the last thing you should do
akupehsluarketatAR when in doubt throttle out...
Kind of like an wreck on the race track.... hit the gas and aim for the middle of the cars crashing, they will be gone by the time you get there. Fun for the passengers in your RV and subject of great conversations years to come!
I disagree that you can keep driving on a flat after stabilizing the vehicle. Great way to start a fire. I have trouble believing you should stomp on the gas too, although I do follow their logic.
You have to hit the accelerator hard. So that the front will lift off a bit.
No, you should have a tpms so you always know your tire status.
i wonder if larger rims help in such situation? i had a rear passenger side tire blown at 70kph+_ in my CX5(by a nail near the sidewall i guess). it doesnt affect anything, im planning to get a truck camper, maybe i should consider dually.
This is BS. Abs deals with tire blowout very well. The Smith System or no other accredited safety training program I know of advises giving the vehicle gas.
Hazmat Tank driver here. Ten years ago a accident occurred fifty yards and one lane to my left causing material to damage my left steer tire and presenting a collision threat. Panic braking resulted in a streight and true stop. Witnesses stated the tire came completly off the rim when the object wad struck. yet the stop of a max weight eighteen wad streight WITH A WET ROAD SURFACE AND MISSING LEFT TIRE.
Robert Fallin I find u correct
Thanks for the great information!!
Important video, I am a newby with a 36' Southwind.
when the stability of a vehicule is not rock solid, the worst thing to do is to hit the brake pedal, anything else will give you a chance to avoid a mishap.
on slippery roads, I have often to release progressively the accelerator or disengage the clutch to maintain the vehicule axis, flooring the accelerator as shown on this video will lead directly to a control loss.
on a dry road as shown on this video, flooring the accelerator is OK as this type of vehicule is relatively low powered and it will give you the time to adjust yourself to the situation.
Blowouts are due to “Overloaded or Over inflation” And old dry rotted or worn out. Don’t panic and stay calm
Under inflation is "no bueno" either my friend.
One thing not mentioned is probably in all blow outs IT IS IMPARIATIVE that both hands are on wheel as with one hand on wheel that first split second will determine if you keep control or loose it! an cruise control not be engaged.With cruise engaged probably driver has one hand on wheel an feet are on floor enjoying the ride but not in control of vehicle.
I will likely never own an rv, but I feel good that I watched this. On the off chance that I'm ever in this situation, I will know what to do. Knowledge is power! Okay, time for a nap. :-D
Great advice 👍
I watched this just for the old people. I don't even own an RV
He really should have emphasized just how bad it would be to apply the brakes. The flat tire has virtually no grip, so that axle has a good brake on one side and no brake on the other. The side force that generates cannot be overcome!
Make sure your front tires are less than 5 years old. a new set are very well worth the $1000 for your family's safety. Also try and not drive when its past 90 out.
Well done! Thank you!
excellent video...pls make more!
The RV in this video is identical to ours lol. Good ol reliable Discovery!
FreeSpirits does it come with a pair of good old man pair of tennis shoes
Get an On Board Tire Inflation System like SUPER-AIR ... Eliminating 99.9 % of these problems while increasing tire life and fuel economy
Nice dad socks!
Also, replace rv tires every 10 years or so, and they do not wear from the outside but from the inside of the tire and cover them up if in direct sunlight and keep protected with armor all or whatever
This is incorrect. They should be replaced every 7 AT MOST!!
Just keep the same speed and stear where you want to go to remove the tire for a need one.
Nice video upload 👍
lol when i was in high school the bus had a blowout luck we were only do 60 km when it happend
On the deer drive thru it may cause damage but you wont lose control same as nascar drive thru the accident you may make it without hitting or being hit by someone that slams on the brake and goes sideways. !!!!! Thanks
Does this same principal (accelerate) apply when a deer jumps in front of your vehicle??
Absolutely yes... braking for a deer in front of your vehicle will make the front end of the vehicle drop down and then it's much more likely the deer will be knocked up over the hood and into the windshield and kill the driver. Accelerating suddenly will have the opposite effect, causing the front end to lift up and reduce the likelihood of the driver/front passenger being killed by the deer flying into the windshield. A Kansas highway patrol officer taught us exactly that in a defensive driving course for our company a few years ago. Also counterintuitive... but yes, best action is to accelerate hard just before hitting the deer.
Floor It hit the 120mph
Billy Moyet after that you can have some deer jerky
drop a gear and floor it.
Happen when I was coming to a 4 ways stop... Hell no there was no space to go faster as there where cars in front of me. We had to slow commitment was in place. I just let off the gas and added a little brake and kept in under control.
Best is to simply avoid flats. I have filled my tires with concrete. Never had a flat since.
Do you run them immediately after to spread the concrete around evenly inside?
I ran over a bale of hay a truck dropped off his trailer on the interstate once. I hung on tight on to the wheel and ran over it. I just maintained my speed and did not increase. never had a flat I would have taken my foot off the gas so will have to retrain my reactions thought process for this one.
Its like what your trained not to do, and your to do it. Its like gun going off and you have to stand in front of the bullet and not hit the ground.
My plan is always the same..... take your foot off and lets get it stopped.. Sorry right me up as a problem... Its how Im programmed... and yes Ive had a front flat twice on a big rig and once on a Bus and nothing happen other then we stopped.
I guess taken your foot off works..
idk but it seems flooring the acc is the wrong thing to do in most traffic situations.
Really nice vid thanks.
Good to know this also impplys with school buses as well
Malik ElcoSS454 it applies to any vehicle. Whether you’re driving a car, a truck, a bus, a stretch limo, a van or anything, the physics are always the same. Driving forwards exerts a forward force. Should a tyre blow out, a side force is exerted on the side where the blown tyre is. Accelerate and you cancel out the side force, thus restoring the original forward force and therefore regaining control of the vehicle. Steer as necessary and slow down by slowly releasing the accelerator. *DO NOT* brake until you’ve slowed down to 30 mph, and even then you should brake gently.
You forgot one other importan thing. Always carry a spare pair of tightly whites
For you and the passenger.
Thank you I’ll hit 120mph when I get a flat
@C0LL1N but remember this is an RV not a compact car
"Most common cause of tire blow out is underinflation or overloading...." .. Ok makes sense ... "Only inflate tires to minimum to carry the loads" ... So ride the edge of safety? Doesn't it make more sense to go 5-10% over?
Himmelberger Bus No expert but common sense tells me you inflate to the minimum because when cornering the load to the tires will change compressing one side and increasing tire pressure.
Good to know
Thank you.
EXXXXELLENT!!
Yeah... this really works well when you're 70 years-old, in a corner, or going downhill. You have to admit, this recommendation is counter intuitive.
Thanks.
30 downvotes?? Gee, I guess 30 people would have been running at 80mph and smashed the brake to the floor.....
'I know what I'm doing god damn it!!' (Dies in fire after crash)
Thanks
@L0000000000000L or buy a tire gauge (auto zone costs like 1 or 2 bucks) and use that, and read what the car manual(comes with every car) says for tire pressure
Those painted
wheels look like hell.....
i love the old people shoes and socks on the peddles 0.o
I let off the gas slowly and give it gas if I had to but that happened in a car
If you step on the accelerator when you loose pressure in a front tire you are simply postponing the same stopping conditions that you will have to experience when you decide to bring the vehicle to a stop later. If you *automatically* make this decision to accelerate, you may be passing the best stopping position by and trading it for a worse one. When you have a front tire blowout, it is best to make a split second decision about whether the current location is a good place to bring the vehicle to a stop. If it is, coast to a stop. If it's a bad position and there is another vehicle next to you on the side your flat is pulling you toward, then accelerate and postpone stopping. "The second worst decision" is the only way to come safely to a stop. You can postpone it; you can't eliminate it.
What are those?
Gnome Who are you talking to?
Install a Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer and forget about it.
❤
NAIL IT!
Seen this info but it was a truck trailer not the same guy but almost verbatim
Tire blowout you'll fee it throughl the seat all right!!!
my dad berowed a RV and the tire blew and we were on the side of the road for 2 hous
Did u get scared that it was gonna crash?
Ok then lets say that all 4 go out at the same time or botched tine? do you still accelerate.
knightrider1545 An RV has 6-8 tires.
Pretty sketchy facts. Incredible acting and footage, just no evidence that acceleration helps. The force vector arrows are nonsense also. That part is high grade old wives' tale, IMHO. If stepping on the gas keeps you from slamming the brake, maybe it helps, but still hard to see it being better than coasting until slow enough to pull over.
Tireguys like me Just Hate Those lol But Still, TPMS System is a Great Invention, and As Of APril 2007 it is Mendetory For Every Car, Van Or LIght Truck, in Canada ANyways.
if you drive a front wheel drive compact car with 200HP stomping on the gas will cause the deflated front tire to spin and will create plow inthe front end meaning further loss of contril
Or get robin Williams to drive your RV. R I p to a funny man.
I disagree. I don't see any advantages in accelerating as opposed to simply letting off the gas pedal and compensating with the steering wheel.
+cadrolls I DO
+cadrolls the point is to give a MOMENTARY burst of power until steering control is re-established. The video oversimplifies by endlessly repeating "step on the accelerator" but by repeating it MAYBE folks who drive a huge motorhome & listened will be trained to NOT hit the brakes, which certainly will cause loss of control. The video does say the amount of resulting acceleration is minimal, which is true if done right. #1: Check tires every morning & every stop. #2: If there's a tire failure, Get & maintain control by adding some power, #3: look for the first place you can safely pull over & slow down, then park there in a controlled manner. #4: NEVER EVER STOP in a driving lane of the Freeway! All of this also applies if you lose a tire while towing/pulling any big trailer - do NOT hit the brakes first, you'll jackknife! Scared horses can quickly become dead horses. :-(
+cadrolls I'm thinking weight transfer: in a front tire blowout you instantly lose 50% of your steering ability and almost double the weight applied to the remaining front tire. If you let go of the accelerator, you shift your center of gravity forwards, adding more weight to it to the point of squishing it and maybe even blowing it as well. By accelerating briefly, you instead shift some weight back off that remaining tire so that it's closer to its normal operating condition.
Also worth mention is traction: if someone goes as far as braking, that happens on all wheels including that single front one. Whatever traction getting used for deceleration isn't available for steering anymore. That's why ABS brakes only give you 80% of your tires' braking ability: so that there's 20% left for steering around obstacles.
u r young and stupid
cadrolls - of course you disagree, because you're a dumb-ass on crack ~
This doesn't seem to make sense. You aren't going to accelerate much with a blow out.
Now go 70mph
GOD COMMS
hours
you should take one on spelling =D
how about if cars are in front of you, and on the sides??? oh just hit the gas they'll move
1 thing do not hirt the brakes if u get a tire blown out iim a junior vol.fire fighter i took cloases 1 was on drive to survie
Change your tires every 5 - 6 years, maintain air and NEVER buy chinese tires and problem solved!
Who comes up to that idea to floor it after your tire blows??? Looool.
I own motorhome and drove semi trucks over 20 years now.
Best to pull your foot of the gas, make sure you are in a control, then press your brakes slowly and try to stop before your rubber flyes off the wheel and you damage your expensive alluminum wheel.
Most RV blow outs is because people dont change tires when needed. Often people think if there is tread why change it? , forgetting that Usa made rubber only lasts for 5-7 years and has to go!
And Stop buying cheap chinese garbage!
Human brain fails when such thing happens..............
Not if you stay calm. It helps if you've had training. Try taking a defensive driving course, racing school, or some other high-stress driving class. It will make blowouts seem easy.
rv owners never go to racing school they never expect that
So true.
The problem was the driver tried to return to the road he/she should have just the let the RV slow in the grass median
Utter crap! Every blow out is different depends on stg angle etc
than you will keep going foward and reach 100mph and crash behind a pile of cars sitting at a red light
than?
Struck a nerve?
You probably wouldn’t have a problem with crashing if it was at the border of Mexico
