    Can you blow to pop inflatables?

    Quick poll. I'm interested to see how many people have managed to blow to pop inflatables. If yes, I'd like to hear what inflatables you've done it with.

      Which was harder? Also was it a normal sized beachball or a huge one? The smaller they are, the harder to pop.

        The beachballs were regular size, 20" or 24".

          Beachballs, rings, lilos, bananas, characters, baby crawler toys, chairs. Curved things like rings, bananas and the 'arm' of chairs are easy because of the extra stress on the inner seam - it just rips in half.

            I have only blown to pop one inflatable, a typical intex primary color 20” beach ball. I was younger and guess I didnt know when to stop blowing it up! Kept forcing more air in and then fwoom! The side split! Lol!! I was more disappointed because i wanted to ride it!

              Lol, I've done the same with a beach ball, too when i was younger! Just watching it stretch,grow & distort like a balloon & get super tight! I got carried away & the next thing i knew...POW! Tried to do the same thing with a little mermaid beach ball i one day found just laying in my front yard...how it got there I'll never know but nobody claimed it when I asked around so i gave it a good home...I was happy until i tried blowing it up...the print on it was nice but that ball was a piece of junk...like trying to blow up a paper bag...I really miss the old stuff...

                Of course you can, but it's not like with a balloon where the stretched latex shatters, instead the plastic/vinyl tears at a seam and all the air leaks out pretty quickly.

                      For a rather scary b2p inflatable exerciuse I recommend beam airbeds -- the pocket ones have a distressing habit of tearing through the outer envelope at the pockets under pressure sadly.

                      Recommend you stand away from the airbed, since the inner baffles failing is pretty violent - last time I did this with a single Intex the whole damn bed jumped a meter into the air with a loud bang!

                      It's kind of like getting an extra "pop" per baffle though, very good!

                        I tried a b2p some small balls and rings, but they didn't pops properly, instead a right bang only a small hole on seam appears and toy silently deflates. How to do it more loudly?
