Your accidental pops

Dear non-poppers, describe your accidental/unexpected pop, how it happened and your reactions to

I’ve not had too many accidental pops. 90% of the time it’s intended. However there’s been a few. The last one was a belbal 14”. It had been blown up a few times before. I blew it up until the neck touched my lips, then as I lowered it, it burst. It was no where near as big as they usually go. It was a bit of a surprise, but wasn’t too loud. Another one was a 14” unique balloon that was going a bit thin. It burst after it had got the slightest bit of a neck. But that’s it really.

Too many to count over the years. Usually after squeezing/hugging/riding a balloon a little too hard, blowing a balloon up a little too big or just being downright careless. Usually it's involved an older balloon that can't take the same punishment as a balloon fresh from the factory.
I hate it when it happens but, alas, being a looner one has to expect the odd unintended bang.

Thanks for sharing your experiences my friends.
Personally, when it happens, it shocks me a bit, except One time when a balloon popped while I was playing with my girl (I talk about it in a topic). The worst was when I was blowing a red jewel 16" and it popped while I was stretching its neck. I felt so bad.

The loudest accidental pop I can recall was whilst I was electric pump inflating a Swiss 1metre round loon (can’t recall who manufactured them now, but they were made for a balloon store in Switzerland).

I turned my back on it for like a few seconds n it burst with this tinnitus inducing bang n all I could find was the part of its neck that was held onto the hose nozzle with an elastic band. The rest of the balloon I found all across the room as little grain of rice sized shards...... and I mean thousands of them!

Good morning Craggy,
just imaging what happened to you, makes me feel terrified ahahahah.

I've had several so far. A couple popped because they got too old, one because I never stretched it properly, a couple rubber gloves, and one because I squeezed it under my shirt too hard. I screamed almost every time, sometimes I cringe and feel slightly sick, and sometimes I even weep a little because I felt so scared. The least negative reaction I had was the one under my shirt, because I was really, really into it by then.

Another ‘random’ pop incident I can vividly remember was one afternoon I was rally rough riding a lovely red Qualatex 3ft heart print, but for the life of me I just couldn’t get it to pop (short of grabbing it and tearing it open with my fingers). I sat back, squatting ontop of it for a few minutes whilst I got my breath back and- boom, I was squat on the floor!

I think that’s the alluring part of balloon play though. The unpredictable nature of them. Some last for ages, as in repeated sessions over weeks, months ect, others give out on their first ride, others just randomly give out when left Inflated whilst unattended, or whilst left to one side.

I was riding my 17" tuftex balloons last night , the first one popped unexpectedly under my weight so blew up another and gave it a good ride before it also went bang so blew up another and third time lucky that survived so I could cum on it
