When I witnessed an awful spill by a dog misjudging the tire jump, I searched for a product that might be able to avoid having any injury by hitting the tire jump. I found it at Agility Tools by Windryder.

The ‘Break-Away Tire’ represents the ultimate in safety, making it ideal for dog clubs, dog parks, and for anyone where increased safety is a concern.
The tire is masterfully constructed by a one piece water-proof (pre-painted) foam expulsion with internal magnets that will ’separate’ and open at the bottom of the tire (i.e. split) upon the impact of a dog landing on it. It will then return to its original form after the dog passes through, without manual resetting.
