> This is felt as kick-back to the driver and if it’s bad enough can rip the wheel out of your hands. Some of you may have had that experience in the past.

It can also break the driver's thumb, if the thumb is on the inside of the rim. If you're driving over rough terrain, you're well advised to keep your thumbs on the outside of the rim. This is true even at low speed. I once had to pull a car up onto a normal-sized curb and did so at low speed. Doing so definitely kicked the wheel.
