Who would cover the damages? I can't see his insurance company covering that.

Oh....oh my...
Something tells me he's going to have to pay for that out of pocket, no insurance company worth a hill of beans would pay on that claim. That sucks, that's an easy $10,000 repair since more than likely not only the body but the drivetrain got torn up too.

He would likely have signed a liability waiver before the car was put on the Dyno. So he would have to pay himself. I cant see it being the Dyno owners fault either.

It looks like it was a high speed tire failure. Maybe he went cheap and got improperly rated tires for that high speed? Thankfully it was only on a dyno and not out doing a high speed run on an airport or worse yet a public highway. A blowout like that at that speed would have been a fatal accident, no doubt about it. God protects fools, it seems.

That's what happens when you cheap-out on tires.

Never understood people spending 5k on rims, but tires, "nah, we'll go bargain basement on those to save $". Not saying this guy's rims are 5k, but in general, people save money on the most vital parts

I feel bad for the dyno owner, the rim looks like it dug a groove into the drum.
