I did this once and its something you never recover from. I cannot inflate any tire of any kind anymore without just a little hint of doubt creeping into my mind as its filling up.

Tells wife: "Babe, this new 120psi air compressor is gonna perfect. I can run air tools for the car on it, grind metal, seat tubeless tires in a snap..."

yes because I am old and blind, turns out they came in handy though ear muffs would have been better :-)

My first ever attempt at tubeless went like this, on a college dorm balcony no less. It's still funny.

I did this once at a Walmart Tire Center at 7 am on the morning of a race. Their compressor was so powerful it tacoed my front wheel as the tire exploded off the rim, and my hand swelled up a ton from the impact. About a dozen people heard the sound and came from the store to see me covered in sealant. It was a great start to my race day.

The surveillance cam footage of TeamRobot getting money shotted at WalMart must be found.
