Lots of hot days. Cheap inflatables get sun-stretched when they are warm and you put a lot of weight on them. Heck, I've seen the pillow of cheap one-chamber air mattresses bulge when normal size people use them. Love it. But I saw a 350-ish pound guy try to use one of those things, sink it, add air to it, and then float on it with the pillow bulging. When he was done with it I added still more air, and people continued to use it, apparently unconcerned about the bulging pillow. 350-pound guy eventually got on it again and popped it. He thought it was a hoot. He's been on a two-person float with his wife of about the same size, and neither is self-conscious about overloading inflatables. But she was nowhere to be found this time.
I saw a woman get on top of a guy on one of those slim airmats that I had overinflated. They were so good at it that I'm sure they've done it before. The pillow bulged on that raft, too. Between the two of them they weighed less than that other guy, but it was still great to see.
The heaviest person I saw floating on those things was my partner at 440 pounds. They're only good to about 200 pounds, and over 300 you're pretty much just floating in the water with some tubes under you. Overinflating it helps only a bit. Balancing on an inflatable you've sunk is kinda fun. She didn't manage to pop it, but by the looks she got people were expecting it to pop.
She and I both sank some 36 inch swim rings. 350 pound guy kinda managed to float on one. I saw two women try to balance on one of these. I wish they had the patience to keep trying. None of the rings popped in the pool, but we did find one deflated outside the pool. My partner says she didn't do it LOL.
