Did you survive this I've heard stories of static electricity created by the friction of the gas rushing into the neck of the balloon, making it go bang while the balloon is being filled I know that we probably have all done this at some stage but...................

Best way to ignite a O/A bomb. Put balloon in a plastic bucket, lie bucket on it's side. Stand behind a wall some distance away and shoot it with a Roman candle. Normally takes a few balls to hit the bulls-eye
