That’s quite a beating.

Sure this isn’t a condom? Could explain why it takes the stress.

Had to borrow the neighbor’s really, really shitty weed whacker recently. I would be surprised if it was able to puncture a water balloon.

Kind of off topic, but with all the focus on plastic waste, especially microplastics, it seems like weed whackers are a source of that kind of pollution. I bet you there is considerable amounts of nylon in the dirt of most yards out there.

Water balloons are sturdier than regular balloons, and if that’s not filled to the capacity, it probably has a lot of give left.

That’s the reason I’ve never wanted one for my own yard. I’ve always wondered why no one seems to have a problem with it.
