We've been there with Velocity wheels, a different wheel although the same problem. What happened to us (on our tandem) was that the inner tube escaped through the crack just enough to cause an explosive blowout with of course instant pressure loss. Luckily we were on level pavement and slowing down for an upcoming "ess" curve and were able to stop uneventfully. Had it happened negotiating the curve, results would have been much different. It ruined the tire BTW.
We were riding a MUP between condos and a golf course, the blowout was loud enough to echo off the buildings (gunshot loud) that we may have caused some golfers to miss their shot!!! Velocity has been very good about either replacing the entire wheel or sending a new rim to our LBS to rebuild under warranty.
