I am older than a breadbox and younger than a redwood.

I have seen it happen on occasion and I did it once 15 year ago-ish. I don't generally blow them off at the shop but I have had an occasional blow out as every mechanic has done at least once. One of my most memorable ones was with a 26" tire which was the correct ISO diameter and width, with the right tube but it was not an exact match to the original tire on the bike and so it blew off.
