Don't over-tighten your lug nuts...
or this may be the result.
Watch and learn.

Hahaha.. amazing how they all come off at the same time, almost as if it were a Hollywood stunt, but too bad that ain't true for the owner 
I had a front left wheel fly off at the kart track due to the lack of tightening  ops:

I once had a wheel come off on the highway doing 75.. rusted studs in the wheels. Fun ride.. not.

ouch. Street Modified class too. that's some stiff competition. He probably tightened it with his tire iron or breaker bar.
any idea where this was? plate almost looks like Florida but i can't tell for sure.

it almost seems like he didn't tighten them enough..... it looks like the axel bolts are still there.

Wow it was almost comical. Not for the owner of course. I thought that the axel bolts looked sheared off the left rear...but the video quality isn't good enough to be certain.

I was looking at the same, but I thought the axel bolts were shorter than they should be.
They were looking for the nuts though from the asphalt. Why would they even do that, if the axel bolts were gone anyway? |
Yeah it looked to me that they didn't tighten them enough.. which is why ALL 4 came off at the same time because the dude putting the wheels back on had noodle arms.

Tightening your lug nuts wont cause your wheels to fall off. It will can cause other issues.
In this case though theres something else going along.. even an idiot wouldnt have all 4 come off at once. Some speculation leads me to believe they did not use the correct lug nuts.. Perhaps ones with the wrong pitch.

It looks like a combination of a number of things. Whatever it is something is wrong. If you look at the rear wheel it looks like the bolts got completely sheared off.

Warped rotors are one possibility, wheel damage another. There are a few others I forget.
