You're supposed to stop at every size when taping. You can't just tape every 3-4 days and not expect to run into any problems... especially since you're using electrical tape which is quite a bit thicker than plumber's tape. Skydiving may have been what actually caused your blowout but bad stretching set you up for it.
But people still don't listen to me when I tell them to be patient... I don't get it...
