Bursting Waterbed

Or what happens when you turn on the hose to fill a waterbed and then sit down to watch Ice Age 2?
We were falling asleep on the couches in front of this silly movie when we suddenly remembered that we had left the hose running into Joy's waterbed. We jumped up (suddenly VERY awake) and found

This:
...stood frozen for a couple of seconds (probably screamed) wondering if it would burst in front of our eyes... ran in all different directions (feeling like we were all of a sudden living one of those exaggerated animated films where things stretch way beyond capacity before they burst)...I ran for the outdoor bathroom where the hose was connected (to shut off the water), Joy ran for a bucket, Richard and Ricky for rags. AFterwards we could laugh.
That was by far the biggest water ballon we've ever seen.
We wondered about how many pounds it must have weighed at that point. We drained a whole lot out and it seems to be OK. wow.
