RE: When you burst a balloon, the air stays where it is, the balloon disintegrates and contracts.

Your balloons must be quite flaccid.

Recall they are under some pressure, therefore the air inside would tend to expand...try smoking a cigarette and blow the balloon up with smoke - then puncture the beast and report back what you've learned.

When you burst a balloon, all the air comes rushing out through the puncture point, accelerating the balloon in the opposite direction.
