I had one blow out coming down the long grade off of the north rim of Grand Canyon. I always figured it was fatigue. I figure it was cracked and that whole grade was either free rolling or braking. When I hit the flat and hit the gas it sounded like crap. There wasn't a hole,like that picture. It was all expanded like it exploded
