Balloons Go Pop!
I recall a childhood party. Probably the first one I attended. It was a fellow student's birthday 'do, so naturally there were games. One of these was a race to sit on a balloon and pop it. I refused to do it. The birthday girl's father kept trying to get me to sit on that balloon, and he couldn’t understand that I was scared to--either I was afraid of the noise or I was afraid of “hurting” the balloon. I ended up crying over it, and the parents phoned my mother to come and get me. That was the last birthday party I attended as a child.

I remember this game ... we played it in kindergarten once, and I remember being totally scared of the loud noise while the other kids joyfully bounced on their balloons. On the last birthday I had to attend as a child they had a "blow up your balloon till it pops" contest. The fact that some of the girls attending were even younger than me didn't really help to improve my reputation. :(
Why not get rid of your phobia? Pop balloons throwing darts at them from a comfortable distance. Try reducing the distance and take time. In a few weeks and some 50 balloons you can enjoy popping them near you.
Why pop balloons? They are beautiful and soft and shin and fun ust to have around.
I can never understand why people have to burst them "for fun".
If you had a ball would you break it for fun or destroy flowers for fun.
Enjoy lovely balloons for what they are.
