It looks as if being involved in the safety game makes you very cautious - why is he wearing his hard hat whilst making a video ?? Dread to think what personal protective equipment he wears when he has sex - or is it just not worth the risk.
Molecules undergoing polymerization releases a lot of heat and hydrogen gas. If they were to examine the testing area closely they would find a fine powder of polymerized butyl rubber as well as more hydrogen gas in the roomr.
Tires are made from butane, and older tires are filled with flammable butane gases exuded by the butyl rubber. In a real polymer reactor, the polymerization starts and cooling coils kick in and the hydrogen needs to be vented.
This is why I deflate tires when I get a real stubborn set of duals, frozen lugs or rim frozen to the hub. AND I avoid using heat and NEVER weld the rims (you anneal them causing them to bend under load). I only use a small propane gas torch when removing stubborn lug nuts. Lots of penetration oil too. A sledge hammer with a 3 ton jack custom rigged with chains to help keep tension on the rim can get a frozen rim or duals off the hub. And you wont damage your tire or rim.
@perolito83 The heat source for the second part of the video was a chemical reaction in the body of the tire, not the air chamber but the tire itself. I am smart huh? If you had listened to the guy you would have been that smart as well.

What kind of a moron would weld a rim anyway?

I've seen a tire blowout on a YouTube video. Not sure that it was caused by pyrolosis or something else.

Where is the heat source or the welding rod for the second video? (2:30)
