Thicker tubes or thinner tubes?

[Myinfo]

I wrecked like two weeks ago, and bent my front rim into the shape of a heart. My tube and my tire separated from the rim, and the tube didn't pop. I was going about 30mph. I had to drag my hawk out of a ditch full of softball sized rocks, load it up in a trailer, drag it off the trailer, and the tube never tore. That tube had around 1500 miles on it, 60/40 street and dirt use, quite a few wheelies. Its an IRC heavy duty tube, and I'm slightly ashamed to say I'm still using it, not losing any pressure though. It's f'n solid, lol.

Wow!!!

I guess I am over thinking the tubes also. Seems like they work pretty well no matter what. Probably a nail or long cactus thorn is the only thing that’s going to pierce them.
