This is because there is always the same amount of air inside the balloon, providing the same amount of outwards force. Here on the ground, that outwards force is balanced by the air outside the balloon pushing on it. Higher in the atmosphere, however, there is less air, and therefore less force. Thus as the balloon ascends, there is a greater force pushing out than pushing in, and the balloon bursts.

Why do most balloons burst as they ascend high altitude?
The internal pressure of the gasses inside a balloon remains constant while external air pressure decreases as the balloon ascends. As the balance between the two changes, the pressure inside becomes progressively greater than the pressure outside, so the balloon expands. If it expands beyond the ability of the balloon material to contain it, the balloon will burst.
