Pulled the flat tire out of the trunk and figured it out in about 30 seconds. Diamondback uses wood spacers to hold the beads spread apart on the tires. The tire shop let one fall into the tire and then installed the inner tube right over it. I can hear it rolling around in there. No wonder the tube burst after just a few miles.
