Ken,
Your mention of that tire cage reminded me of when I was flying the MC-130,
doing ground-to-air man pickups. We inflated 20" OD spherical fiberglass
helium bottles to 3000 psi in such a cage. Never had one explode, but it
sure scared the heck out of me every time I, as the Fulton Recovery
Officer, watched my crews charge them. I'm not at all sure the cage would
have even slightly restrained the explosion. :-(
