Granted, tubed tires do fail. But the incidence of tubeless tires failing is too high for me.
Based on what evidence? I've had dozens of flats over the years and if they had happened on a high speed descent it could be a problem.
I'm very curious to see some statistics on the rate of tubeless tires failing. I can't tell you how many stories I've heard about tubes blowing off tires but there have been many both on this forum and in personal experience.
