its not because the bolts were loose.
look at the video carefully.
the studs broke off.

if it were loose bolts the wheels would've been wobbling when he came on the straight away but they didnt. when he does the turn you can see the rear wheels locking up so that could've easily caused extreme pressure on the studs and have them snap off.

What if...........They only torqued one lugnut and left the rest loose? That would cause them to snap under pressure but it will be ok on straight aways.

there still would be wobble because of the speed etc and before it snaps it would have to actually wobble.

but i understand where your comming from
