This kind of failure is typically caused by excessive wear on the brake surface of the rim.
Every time you apply your brakes, you are polishing small amounts of metal away from the rim. Eventually, the rim gets too thin and weak, and will crack, like you have seen in your photo, from the normal inflation pressure of the tire.
In general, this means tht ...

I rode a bike in Bullhead City, Arizona (named after the tremendous amount of goatheads) for about four and a half months. I pulled at least that many out of my tires every day or every other day. Liquid sealants like Slime or similar were the more affordable, but more tedious, solution. Still, it was a lifesaver when I was miles away from water sources.

The tube does not contain the pressure. Consider what happens to a tube is you put 8bar into while not mounted inside a wheel+tire...... If the tire cannot contain the pressure, the tube explodes, but it is that lack of conatainment that causes it.
Problem is the tire or the rim. This cna be caused by :
Tire / rim mismatch
Rim Faultly
Tire faulty
Tire ...

@Daniel has said it many times in this QA - The problem is the tire, not the tube. You need to remove any discussion of tube from this problem.
Either tire is coming off the rim, or it has a hole in it big enough for the tube to balloon out. The most likely scenario is, as said by @Daniel, The tire bead is coming off the rim.
This can happen if the tire ...

The expansion of air at normal temperatures between sun and shade should have no effect if the tube is inflated to its recommended running pressure, even going above by 10% should not have any effect as the tube will be built with significant tolerances well above that. For example, i have tyre's rated to 110psi but run them at 120psi and i weigh 95kg. I ...

I have heard of tubes failing in situations like yours. If you inflate the tires to the maximum rated pressure on the sidewall of the tire, the pressure can rise over that when warmed by the sun or the friction and heat from the road. The occassions I have seen this are with high pressure road tires. Since you don't have a pressure gauge there is the chance ...
