The tire flying off is a wholly other incident, but a solid skirt with enough strength could also keep the tire from coming off the axle completely, which would allow the drivers to stop before the 200 lb tire came flying at someone else on the road.
Either way, skirts could be deemed safer as well as more economical, given their proper construction, so where is the argument?

My point is if you want someone to conduct something as important as a safety inspection, you dont make it hard for him to do, I'm sure there are many truckers out there all ready that dont do it properly.
Your assertion that a skirt would hold anything in is rediculous. Any skirt that is strong enough to do such is likely too heavy to manipulate to get at the lug nuts.
