I was rolling with a big aggressive blue belt, he goes to pass, nearly tears shit up in my knee.

Both scenarios did not require a tap since there was no submission involved.

It might not have have happen to you yet but odds are against you that you'll get injured one day.
It doesn't matter if the guy is trying to submit you or not, if your knee/rib is going to pop, tap anyway, it's just training.

A guy had me in a body triangle from the back and had me flattened out and was going for the choke and pulled my forehead up to try to get the choke and i had to tap right away due to the cranking force of my head being pulled up and my back being pushed down.
