I think i have to explain this poll a bit:

The inflatee is inflating, around her are some how people. She pumps herself up till she cant no more. She ends up popping herself, so we know how the story ends for her. But what would be the risk for people around her?

Dont take this post to serieus, it is just for fun and fantasy.

And boom goes the inflatee

I'd treat it like a (-What if Violet explode d scenario)  ( Gallons of blueberry juice would spray out all at once, drenching everything)

I'll raise you one extreme idea to another: the virus escapes the popped host/inflatee and spreads to other bodies - now it's an airborne danger.

Yes i saw this chain reaction a lot as scenatio in this poll. I love the idea of a popping virus in a story

I'm a man of extremes. Almost all of my pops are either Explosive danger or Was that just it? Although just calling them Explosive seems more honest in my case. They aren't all that dangerous in practice. Few bystanders have ever been harmed by any of my explosions.

what if the people around her get hit and start to inflate?

Honestly, It depends. The idea of some pretty person blowing up into an explosion ala Akira is pretty fucking funny imo, But usually I just like a clean satisfying bang.

 Either chain reaction due to spreaing the inflation-causing-gas, or high heels of popped girl flying around and puncturing someone else, who's close to the bursting point.

the chain reaction would be my first thought, but op asked about her inflating with a pump so I woudln't think there is any chemical/mmagic involved.

As much as I really prefer men reforming after an explosion, I have a weakness for when they explode in a dramatic, spectacular Michael-Bay-worthy bang.

And for some reason, no damage is done to neither the scenery nor the man himself. Don't ask why. I don't even know myself.

 They can explode violently and then get their mind uploaded into a fresh new inflatable body.

Great poll!

I guess it's a fresh approach to "What popping is?" ^_^ 

One thing I like is inflator laying on top of the inflatee. Teasing or caressing or overinflating. So if inflatee really goes pop - inflator will find him/herself laying in the air on the height of ten feet, in a relaxed pose.

It's one more reason why I prefer slipping ^_^ The music might play the sound of a BANG!!! and augmented picture might show some cartoonish confetti and glitter and tiny shoes standing on the ground, but inflatee isn't really obliterated, so inflator lands softly and can say "honey, that was a blast!", not "ayeee my knees!" ^_^

I quite like the idea of the pop being deafening, so the inflatee sees people around her putting ear protectors on or putting up some kind of sound proof barrier, so she knows she's about to explode and nothing can stop it.  It heightens the anticipation.

Surprised nobody mentioned the possibility of the noise being a hazard.

Oh, and also people putting on wipe-clean overalls because they're going to get drenched in what's inside her.

I enjoy a good bang, but usually not violent that it actually injures anybody.  A bit of confetti, but no real damage beyond some minor disarray resulting from the sudden release of all that air.  Occasionally, I'll up the force of the blast to 'grenade' level, but only if it's thematically appropriate (ie. the subject is meant to be a 'living bomb'), or the subject has gotten absolutely MASSIVE (which, for me, means around house-sized or bigger).  

Since a lot of my personal fantasies revolve around me getting goaded into blowing up for a girl or group of girls, I like to imagine them laughing and jeering in the aftermath, as the tattered remains of my clothing (and, occasionally, rubbery skin) flutter down around them.  Naturally, a devastating, bomb-like blast would preclude that.

Explosiove pops for me, with special effects worth of Lucasfilms.

Just joking with you :p

if a lady inflating to pop is filling with air and tinfoil confetti - the glitter haze of her BANG might blind people temporarily

A flesh. I never thought of that one

yeah, a character gives her life to the sky, so it makes sense if it's not just a poof but something special.

Real handmade tinfoil that you cut yourself with scissors and mix with a traditional scented powder because, y'know, liquid fragrances will just sit in her bottom after she becomes a balloon while powder fragrance will dance with the flow, like a snake. It's not only beautiful, but also educative. And flushy haze inside her translucent form accentuates her power, it visualizes the might of holding it all in.

And of course it lifts your vanilla popping when folks cheers are louder than the bang - into something rather extreme ^_^
