Overview

• During the Malicious Monster Truck Tour on July 21, a front driver’s side wheel weighing 645 pounds detached mid-jump and landed in a parking lot at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.
• Organizers confirmed that no one was hurt but that the flying wheel damaged multiple parked vehicles.
• The incident was captured by PhotogSteve81 and shared across Instagram and Reddit, prompting widespread attention and calls for increased safety.
• Monster Jam officials note that BKT tires used in competitions measure 66 inches in diameter, 43 inches wide and can exert extreme forces under hard landings.
• The tour is now assessing equipment damage and collaborating with the Kitsap County Fair Board and a fencing contractor on new perimeter reinforcements and wheel restraint upgrades.
