Why don't balloons pop when pricked through tape?
The tape acts as reinforcement and prevents the hole from the pin to become a rip that bursts the balloon. Without the tape stuck onto the balloon the needle prick would allow the rubber tension to rip itself apart because of the air pressure stretching the rubber which would be in tension. The tape stops the balloon being able to split and so it doesn't burst. It used to be a kids trick to put 2 pieces of tape on opposite sides of a balloon and then push a long knitting needle right through the balloon without bursting it.
What happens when you prick a balloon at the end opposite the opening?
You may hear a bang and the balloon shreds itself. Alternatively, depending upon the properties of the rubber, the balloon may become airborne with the knot leading the way. But if you place a piece of cellulose tape on the balloon, you may puncture it through that without the bang!
Why doesn't a balloon pop with a needle through it?
When you insert a needle into a balloon, it creates a small hole. The air inside the balloon escapes gradually through this hole, preventing the balloon from popping. The pressure inside the balloon decreases as the air escapes, relieving the stress and preventing a sudden burst.
Why doesn't a balloon pop with tape over it?
Tape can provide additional support to the balloon, distributing the stress caused by the pressure inside the balloon more evenly. This reduces the chances of the balloon popping, as the tape reinforces the material of the balloon, making it less likely to burst under the pressure.
Why does water prevent a balloon from popping?
The 'popping' sound of a balloon disintegrating is made by the sudden expansion of air when the skin is damaged. The compressed air within is then able to escape. One interesting variant of your 'water' experiment, is to stick a bit of cellulose tape to the balloon, and then you'll find that you may puncture the balloon; through the tape; without it popping! It will eventually deflate however.

Why rubber balloon with a piece of scotch tape does not burst when it is pricked by a needle at the piece of scotch tape?
Normally, When you prick a balloon with a needle the hole the pin makes creates a weak point that continues to tear as the pressure inside the balloon attempts to escape. ( I.E. To equalise the pressure inside and outside the balloon ) That is the balloon bursting... The piece of Scotch Tape, however, holds the area around the pinhole together stopping this tearing and preventing the balloon bursting.
