Helen sales Manager at Pond Forge said:"There is a safe bombing technique but gravity will do most of the work for you."
Coming out on top were the King Bombastic and the Mermaids Fantastic even after Dale White suffered a nose bleed after smashing his knee into his face.
Thomas Martin (19) the overall winner said:" I am the champion of the world and I would like challenge Peter Kay to a bomb off."
