I would probably just go for a sidepull
huuum. V brake and side pull. Yeah maybe a long reach caliper mounted on the other side of the fork... Some time trialists back in the days used to mount their front brake like this.

m going to forward this idea to Mythbusters
Yeah! Put the bike on a threadmill, lock the brakes, put weight on the handlebars and put a fan to simulate wind. But I doubt it happens in practice... you need significant pressure to blow a tire. However a friend was touring in the mountains and he confirmed his rim got pretty hot .
