Rust in the Coolant - Run with No Thermostat?

OK little questions here:

Removed the thermo in regards to no/low flow through the system, seems the overheating issue is a thing of the past.

However, bro comes back after trip to NYC and back with the radiator hoses hanging off again, one of them, the upper, which appeared OK has a solid burst tear about 4 inches closer to the thermostat housing (which by some miracle happened about 10 feet from our apt).

Seems we have overly high pressure in the system, HEAD GASKET ISSUE?
