What's the largest you've ever stretched a 24" beach ball with just your weight? Have you ever measured? How do you measure?
I measured for the first time today. I used a measuring tape and measured pole-to-pole. I've measured the pillow end of single-chamber air mattresses before, because those are my favorite to pop, but this is the first I've measured a beach ball, though I have done a visual comparison with an unstretched ball before.
Today I got an intex 24 to 32 inches before it developed a leak. I started with a ball that held my full weight for several minutes. Figured I had good stock After I reinflated it I added weight very slowly, but got up to my full weight again! They almost never survive that. I weight almost 600. From there I used only part of my weight. I probably blew into it four more times, never inflating it very hard.
Once I felt the leak I got off of it. I'm just not into popping them once they leak. I like the pops to be unexpected.
Do you have a strategy for getting the largest stretch?
