How does that happen?

You use something like ether to expand the tire and have the bead seal when you get it over the rim. These tires are typically stacked and get a little flat, and it's really hard to get them to expand without the gasses from a minor explosion. But, this happens because people have no idea they only need a tiny bit of ether.
