a tube simply can't withstand 100 psi at a pinch point

That explains why I kept getting punctures on my old tubes at 90psi 😮 must've been fitting them in a dodgy way after previous repairs

Or as you said, old tubes. Lots of factors, but a good tube will work a fold out unless it’s literally pinched between the rubber and rim.
