I don't know why you think that you would end up in the hospital due to a flat tire?  I have had a few flats and they were not as dramatic as you would think.


I have a friend that had a front tire blow out, and the tire went flat instantly.  He is an experienced rider and could not control it.  He broke three fingers as they were caught between the clutch lever and the handlebars as he went down.

And this one posted by a forum member looks pretty bad - once the tire bead comes off the rim.....the tire just mushes around and won't steer the bike.

I wonder if it's commonly known that after mounting a tire using a tube that your should back off the nut on the valve stem.(more important on off road bikes)if the tire and tube shift on the rim the valve stem is ripped from the tube causing the tire to deflate in a heartbeat.
