Like, say you had a grain silo or some theoretical structure that would allow you to fill the structure as high as you wanted, full of balloons, all inflated with regular air, not helium.

Is there a point where the balloons' collective miniscule weight would be enough to pop the balloons on the bottom? Or would they just bounce/float on top of each other forever and ever?

14 g seems way too low. Have you ever tried popping a balloon without a pointy object?

Except maybe if you had a device that can fill and knot a balloon right at the edge of bursting.
