Bit of a classic really.
Mind you, I always like it when you see something like that, and the guy is wearing dinky little racing boots. It just adds that little some thing else to the story.....
There could be a good design concept there!!
"Ejector-Bolts!!!" In an emergency shorten your stopping distance to about 3 metres from 50mph.

Was this not the one where the guy used the original wheel bolts which were a bit on the short side for his aftermarket wheel hubs, hence he only had a few threads of each bolt holding things together?

Justn kick the tye hard and catch it!
When you put it back, smear a TINY bit of copper grease onto the face and threads so it wont happen again.

I'd put the wheel nuts on a few turns just incase you don't catch it ! If the wheel drops onto the disk you'll probably damage it !
