A good way to make sure this doesn't happen is to place some talcum powder in 
the balloon
before you store it, and ALWAYS store it stretched out flat with the end open!

Another point, don't try to bring the sucker to full inflation at once. That 
helium is
COLD...give the thing a little time to absorb it.

Haven't lost one yet...although I usually say a few prayers to the antenna gods 
before I
inflate.

P.S. and for the clowns out there, I'm talking about the balloon.:-)
