I just had my first flat since going tubeless 5 years ago. It came from just barely not clearing an entire rock garden that I usually pop off the first rock and land just past the last rock in the section. I was going too slow and landed directly on a square edge that popped the bead. I ended up riding out on a flat tire, but some insert would have made that much better than it was.
Moral of my story, when you help a stranger and give them your tube and they give you their tube with a hole in it, fix the stupid thing before you forget!
