Where did he go - after going up?

1) Hospital
or
2) Morgue

Always use a tire cage!
Yikes!

Dead for sure. Think of the G-Force.

If he's luck he landed on top of the building to the right, otherwise he likely landed after a 40' or 50' launch! With injuries landing from that height combined with the injuries upon explosion he likely didn't survive that one!

This happened in Yemen. The truck driver who overinflated the tire is dead, and the tire serviceman survived miraculously.

Astronaut training!

Looks like he was tapping the locking ring! :-(

Did the wheel land to the left of the picture? Behind the truck on the road?

It looks like it did, you see the shadow and then the puff of dust when it lands.
