This is what I call Lab testing a wheel :

obviously it failed

“Oh … my dog doesn’t bite. He won’t hurt you.”

I saw that this morning on VS. was kinda freaky how the wheel just folded in half.
yeah - looks like the wheel turns side on - and there its got a lot less strength than head on.
Lab testing - v funny.
My gut feel is that when the front wheel is extremely loaded from braking (you can see the rider hanging way off the back indicating he’s squeezing as hard as possible), that any amount of impact is going to buckle the wheel instantly. Conversely, when you hit something with the front tire while not braking, a lot of times the top tube, down tube buckle. What do you think?
That is sad, but the poor dog looks guilty as hell. He sort of looks around and slinks off. oops, sorry dude.
Pardon the pun!

That was a little scary. And the dog was a soft object and recoiled too - not rigid and fixed. I was amazed that the wheel absolutly fell apart with what was really a minor impact - and these are the same wheels they descend at 70 - 80km/h on!
