That makes no sense. You are saying the weight limit of the ball only applies if you don't use it?
I always figured that the they manufacturer's took the extra force into account when setting their weight limits.
Of course, that is an American perspective. Back home, if your ball says up to 150 KG and it bursts on someone who weighs 125KG that would be a legal issue and I can't see the company running that risk. Back home there is a good chance that if the ball says "up to 150KG" it is probably good for up to 200 KG, just to cover the company's liability.
