Just to hazard a guess.. the wheel was probably quite worn on the brake tracks and chances are the spokes were overly tensioned for the amount of abuse the wheel had withstood.. and if the wheel had been left sitting there deflated and he suddenly aired it up to a high PSI, that could easily happen. But this is all just speculation on my part.
