Great video, thank you for putting on your site, I'll be sure to pass it on to my RV friends. DA
This video was very helpful and well done.
I appreciate it because the subject has been a major concern for me as an RV user ever since I started to drive and carry my family.
I feel very well prepared to handle the situation now. Also, I believe my first instinct would have been to go for the brake before watching this video.
I plan to pass this on to family and friends, if possible.
Many Thanks for a job well done.

I have had a right front tire blow out and a left rear inside tire blow out. Both times I was able to maintain control. Both tires were Michelins and without looking at the tire the Michelin dealer immediately claimed that the tires were underinflated. Which was balony since I check the tires regularly. Consiquently I will never buy Michelins again.
Tried to watch video on 9/12 but "No Longer Available" sorry to have missed it.

Thanks for the vidieo however it would be nice to know how a 5th wheel or travel trailer reacts due to a blowout.

Wonderful video. Informative and sobering. Thanks for posting it.
I think what you are try to do is a good thing.How ever most people will panic when this happens, As you said this was a controled test in Nevada.So in a perfect world every one wears seatbelt and has hands at correct position. Its not a perfect world. Why not inform people about Tyron saftey bands, tire pressure system, just to name a few.
He didn't talk about the best way to pull off to the side while coping with a "flat" tire.
My rear tire leak came from a nail. It didn't make a significant change in the feel, but produced a rumbling noise. Without the "wop wop" of a flat tire, it took me a while to realize what had happened. I'm lucky not to have ruined the tire (a $40 patch job took care of it) or worse, had a loss of control issue. This is a good video. Acceleration is good advice. Thanks for the information.
