How in the H did you ignite these balloons?

[sit-rep]

lol... slow burning fuse of simply lighting the tied off end of the balloon... that rubber burned slow enough to get away in time.

Now remember!! we we’re dumb kids and took risky chances!! being a matured adult, I surely would not recommend anyone trying this at home!! :P
