What happens when you burst a balloon? Watch this slow motion video to find out

When we pierce a balloon with a sharp needle (like this crazy guy is doing in slow motion in the video), it pops and produces a great sound. But there are instances, wherein balloons suddenly burst, which can startle an individual

The amount of pressure inside a balloon directly affects how the balloon pops. When a balloon is inflated, stress is applied to the material, resulting in the balloon’s expansion. If the balloon is inflated beyond its point of expansion, it’s bound to pop. Otherwise, you have guys like the one in the video using a chainsaw to pop it.

Our verdict: while it looks fascinating, we recommend that you don’t try it at home.
