A balloon does not pop at 14 grams of pressure. My toddler of 14 kilo grams can stand on one without popping it.
14 g seems way too low. Have you ever tried popping a balloon without a pointy object?
Except maybe if you had a device that can fill and knot a balloon right at the edge of bursting.
Party balloons won't burst with just 14 grams. Judging from the party games involving popping balloons by sitting or bumping body parts together, they seem to support a couple kilograms rather than a few grams.
Edit: asked several AIs about this, they all confidently said "14 grams". It seems they're mixing how much weight a balloon can lift with how much weight it can stand before popping.
