What, the rim busted because of the tire inflation? That sounds pretty odd. more likely the rim had problems, and it took a hard hit because the tire wasn't absorbing anything at 150psi. The PSI is 1/2 of what the tire can withstand if mounted properly and on the proper rim.

Partially full story here.
I've been using the "recommended" PSI for about a week now, I was over inflating my tires 10 PSI too high, which made my ride extremely erect and bumpy. Lowering to "recommended" PSI for my weigh made a ton of difference, no pinch flats, no more bumpy ride, and
feel better when cornering.
