It has to do with elasticity. I dont know the science behind it but you have to overcome the inertia of the elastic material. Its like a nice brand new pair of pants with an elastic waist band or a rubber band. They fit nice when they are new but over time as you stretch the elastic material it no longer fits nice. There is also a breaking/degradation (not sure if this is the correct words) point of elastic material. Maybe is denaturing but my point is you can inflate a balloon to the point where it wont go back to its original shape.
