    It's always obnoxious that the city NEVER trims the trees around the stupid parade route. They've been doing this for years and can't ever seem to get their heads outta their asses and trim the trees so they're less likely to pop a balloon and cause a problem let alone an accident. They could always add something to the lamp posts so they don't hurt the balloons but NYC just sucks

      It depends on the fabric used. They used to use rubber which was a lot more durable than the balloon fabric they use now. Usually they can withstand a little bit of pressure, but if its on a fixed point like the tip of a tree branch, usually it doesnt hold up well.

      They are pretty durable, but a lot of them wear out with age. Generally when a balloon is damaged, an entire panel of fabric is replaced but only that panel.
