Can static electricity pop a balloon?
Ever get an hour or so into a gig and then BAM! BAM! BAM! – balloons start to pop one after another? When many balloons start to spontaneously explode, static electricity is often the culprit. If you work in the same general area for a prolonged period of time and that area happens to be carpeted, and/or in low humidity (you’re inside a heated room on a cold, winter day) there’s a really good chance for static build up. Static electricity sparks will cause your balloons to pop.
