This. The tube didn't pop, sending the tire off the rim. The tire slid off the rim, allowing the tire to balloon out and pop. I only have about 8 years of experience working in a bike shop, many years ago, but Andy has owned shops and built bikes... When Andy answers one of my questions I pay attention to what the man says.
Suggest that you read all of the tips about ensuring that a tire is seated, and remains seated, during the entire inflation process. I'm not casting any aspersions on your abilities or observational powers - we've all blown up a tube when the tire sneaks off the rim. It's just that, if you focus only on a "tube problem", and ignore the tire seating problem, you probably will go through a lot of "bad" tubes....
