Yeah, you certainly could get pinch flats from riding over curbs. Someone else posted about techniques for lifting the wheels over obstacles. That's not my area of expertise, but it would help. Higher pressures combat pinch flats, but you're about as high as you can go with your current set-up. Stiffer sidewalls might help, but I don't know what tires have stiffer sidewalls.
