Repetitive flats on the same wheel?

Wheres the punctures? On my daughters bike, I started duct taping inside the rim where it kept screwing the tube. Also learned narrow pieces of duct taps make for an excellent rim tape, sealing well enough to go tubeless on a cross bike. Did a few races like that twenty pounds ago.

this one appears to have been a blow out...guess i hit a bump a little heavier than i figured....but also looks like my tube was waiting to blow anyway *points at pic elsewhere in the comments*

The pinch flat. I hit a hogs head once and ripped a hole on my road bike tire. Had a tube and a co2 filler but didnt realize it was such a hole till i filled it up! a nice bubble sticking out. Got home but man, only had 500 miles on that tire.
