No, I think it's way more explosive than that. Look carefully at
the bottom of his front rim, near about 5:30 in the picture.
Wonder if that happened _before_ or after his tire rolled.

Well if it isn't old splitting-anodized-rim showing its ugly head!
That could not occur as a result of a flat unless the rim were made
of glass. Aluminum rims bend unless its a fatigue crack, and this
looks like the classic cracking of an anodized rim the way we had
them here when Mavic introduced the trend..

I see a curved spoke at 5:30, presumably from a rim bent sideways,
and some green rim tape pulled up onto the far side of the rim,
presumably from when the clincher tire came off:

What do you see that shows a split in the rim?

The curved nearside spoke, still engaged with the, rim goes to the
place where the rim separated (on a line between axle and BB) and
shows that the rim is disconnected at that point. The disconnected
part is visible in front of the white cap-A on the wall. If this is
not a metal rim, then it is even a worse product. I note no Spinergy
wheels in the field. Maybe these will go the same way.

You astound me! You could have saved face by writing "Oops!" and left it at
that. Instead, you show that the dinosaur is melting into a tar pit. Shame
on you, and pity you didn't see what led to the result. It's still
available on Rai3, but of course, that would take an effort on your part to
learn. Have you noticed your former sheen, which reduced to patina, is now
just mold ? Lots here have done so.
