I was told about this phenomenon by a granddaughter. I know better than not to check, so I did.

The weirdest bit is when the balloon leans into a corner. That shouldn't be allowed.

It's easy enough to wok out why once you've seen it in action, but it took me a while to be able to look at the video without thinking it was wrong.

As I say, it's easy enough to work out: the point is that it looks so wrong.
