					 Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
					 publications entitled "Demounting and Mounting Procedures for Truck/Bus Tires"

Trajectory
:
(a) Any potential path that a rim wheel component may
					 travel during an explosive separation, or the sudden release of the pressurized
					 air; or
