Capturing a bursting water balloon

During our attempts to capture this, we found out the best settings on our cameras for good results were:

Shutter Speed 1/4000 Aperture 5.6, ISO 800

• What shutter speed did you use for all the pictures? The Shutter Speed We Used For All The Pictures Was 1/4000

• What mode on the camera did you use? The Mode We Used For The Camera Was Manual

• Was your camera set to single shot or continuous shot? The Camera Was Set To Continuous Shot

• What ISO was used? The ISO That We Used was ISO 800

• How did you time the bursting balloons so perfectly? Did the person popping it count? What about you? The way we time it was when the person popping the balloon counted down from 3 we started taking pictures at 1.
