I would have thought this would be during inflation bead seating while not in a cage, but the article says it was during disassembly. Are these split rims somebody attempted to separate while inflated?

: Failure to properly match tire and rim/wheel sizes is dangerous. Mounting a smaller diameter tire on a larger
diameter rim/wheel (for example, mounting a 16 inch tire on a 16.5 inch rim/wheel) can result in breaking the tire bead during mounting or airing. The tire may then explode during inflation. The explosion can hurl the tire and wheel into the air striking you or a bystander. Be sure the diameter shown on the tire exactly matches the diameter stamped on the rim/wheel.
