not to hijack the thread
but i have had tubes blow out right after being replaced after a flat. sometimes i am not meticulous enough and pinch the tube between the tire and the rim. and i'm using a floor pump with the wheel off the bike and sorta propped up right between my legs. if a blowout can do that to a rim and a brake pad...i am keeping wheels away from my privates when inflating tires.
