lol. dick. 
it wound up getting slung everywhere, it did get him home though. shit was all over him and the back of the bike. people get all bent out of shape on using plugs in bike tires much less fix a flat or slime. with the fix a flat it was like riding on a slimy tire.

Tire Slime is pretty tame, it doesn't do any damage from what I know. I've never used it on a car, but it immediately goes into every inner tube I buy for my mountain bike to help protect against cactus punctures. And no, it's not pressurized, it's just a liquid sealant not a flat repair in a can. It's a totally different type of product.
Just FYI, Porsche OEMs one of the brands of Fix A Flat because there isn't a spare tire on some of the models. It's definitely only meant to be an emergency repair until a new tire is mounted though.
And for what it's worth, I think getting any kind of actual technical facts or non-biased information from a law firm specializing in tire defects is pretty dumb.

Re: Tire Inflator Used to Fix a Flat Causes Tire Explosion
When i first bought my old car, the previous owner had used fix-a-flat. The tire had lost some air, so me thinking it was fine, i went to the citgo on Kempsville and PA, i start filling up the tire with air, kneeling down with my face right next to it. Out of nowhere it just blows the fuck up, sounded like a shotgun, everyone in the shop came to look if i was alright. The tire ended up blowing apart on the inside side wall of the tire, so i got lucky as fuck. Once i finally got the whell off i looked at the tire, the fix-a-flat had damn nearly competely ate through the side wall. I was lucky as fuck, and to that, i went and began drinking
needless to say i've never used it since, and i won't let any friends use it
