The method for filling a soft, flexible, thin-walled inflatable bladder with a fluid medium to a predetermined extent that comprises; folding a portion of the soft, flexible, thin-wall of the bladder and engaging the fold in predetermined pressure engagement between opposing clamping surfaces of a clamping device and thereafter introducing fluid medium into the bladder to fill it. The fold slides from engagement between the surfaces when the tensile forces directed onto and through the wall by the fluid medium delivered into the bladder exceed the holding force exerted by the clamping device.
