Best Answer

yes if you match a light becuose rubber can burn on light

(I think that's supposed to be "Yes, if you light a match, because rubber can burn.") Actually, in the '80s, several rubber band balls in desk drawers at a company in Kingston, NY, spontaneously combusted, caused by the enormous pressure in the center, and because the way the balls were made, there were air spaces (like tunnels) which allowed oxygen in. Also, there was some speculation that the bands themselves were "different" in their composition. If you unwrap an old ball, there's a good chance you'll find the center is melted and fused.
