The bladder is a mighty strong muscle and is unlikely to rupture just because you declined the opportunity to urinate. It's much more likely that well before the bladder burst, the urge to void would simply take over, and you would urinate whether you wanted to or not. However, the bladder can rupture under certain circumstances, such as:

  • Major trauma, for example a pelvic fracture
  • Surgical complication
  • A bladder tumor that weakens a portion of the muscular bladder wall
  • Damage to the bladder from radiation

How long can you hold your urine until your bladder explodes?

Usually it will partially empty itself against your will as nature's way to prevent it from exploding. But if you have a full bladder in a car accident or play contact sports with a full bladder - and a surprising number of people do - and you are struck in the pelvic area, it can burst upward through the dome into your pelvic cavity, causing a life threatening medical emergency.
