Honestly, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Those tires and wheels are huge and heavy and they're obviously held on by the (relatively) tiny spindle. They get a LOT of movement, it seems like an obvious weak point.

I bet he stuck the landing though!

This is a cut-away of a 1948 Packard 327 ci, flathead, straight eight.

Would you like to see/hear that engine with a blower in a rat rod?
