Have you reached 40 psi? One thing I can recommend is to dispense with the usual hand pump in favour of a manual (foot) pump which will inflate car tyres. The only consequence I think of inflating too hard may be to fetch the tyre off the rim and it is unlikely to do so with sufficient force as to land you a blow.
