Not exactly, it happens to "normally" inflated tires too. Given that kickflipjr doesn't know the history of the tire in question, it may also be that an abused tire (pot holes, underinflation, manufacturing defect) is less suitable for over inflation, but it would also be less suitable for driving on in general, and one incidence does not a study make.

I love how lug nut fixed his with rubber cement His failed at 32 psi.
