Has anyone exploded by inflating?

There are no verified reports of anyone exploding as a direct result of inflating a balloon or any similar object. However, there have been instances where individuals have suffered serious injury or death due to accidents involving inflatables or gas under pressure, such as in extreme cases of using helium in a poorly understood or unsafe manner. It's important to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when using inflatables or gas tanks. If you're curious about something specific, feel free to ask! Update (2025-11-19): There have been reports and anecdotes about people suffering serious injuries or fatalities due to over-inflation, particularly in the context of certain extreme sports or stunts involving inflatable devices or equipment. For example, in some cases involving air-blown costumes or devices, improper use or over-inflation can lead to accidents. However, the idea of someone "exploding" from inflation in a literal sense is largely fictional and typically exaggerated for dramatic effect in movies or stories. In reality, the human body has limitations and safeguards (like pain responses) that prevent such extreme outcomes. If you’re referring to a specific context or scenario, please provide more details for a more accurate response.
