Several things can cause a balloon to pop. All of them, however, involve exceeding the elasticity of the material. When the rubber of a balloon is stretched too far, a hole or rip will appear. The balloon wants to stay small, so when a hole appears, there is no more material holding it together at that point. So, like a rubber band stretched then released, the rubber snaps away from the hole. This sudden force creates more holes and rips, and the whole balloon destroys itself.
