Air down and a pry bar?

I was thinking "why not just remove the outer wheel" until I saw the displacement being released as the last bit of stone came loose. That could have been quite a bit of force on the wheel, causing it to fly apart as the nuts came off.

I was wondering why they didn't let the air out of the tires as well.
