Ever have a blow out on a Stella with a tubeless?

Just wondering if any of you ever experienced a blowout on a tubeless? How about the tubed stock tires? How did the bike handle?

I notice the Stella seems pretty heavy in the rear and my wife likes to ride pillion adding additional load (sorry dear). Was wondering how I would expect the bike to handle so I can be prepared.

Watched a video of someone on MV yesterday in the UK that supposedly had a blowout on a Star 150 with the SIP tubeless wheels. It spooked me a little and got me thinking.

Appreciate your thoughts!

With tubeless no blowout but I did get a flat. Worked the way it is supposed to. I picked up a screw and didn't even notice until someone said my tire looked low.

I have had a rear blow out on tube. How did it handle? Pretty much...not at all. I was lucky I was leaving the gas station.

I had a tube let go at about 40-50 MPH on the rear of my stella leaving a rally. Lets just say I am glad I grew up riding dirt bikes.
I now have the SIP rims. No flats yet, and I am okay with that

Being used to motorcycle rim prices; at $70 or so the SIP rims are a steal.
