Unless the explosive collapse of the one sealed ball/segment impacts 
the integrety of adjacent segments such that some number greater than 
one of them also then explosively collapses.  At which point you have a 
runaway chain reaction that might take out a significant number of the 
balls/segments before it fizzles out.
