I don't know how 4060 did this, but we were considering a coiled wire or tube inside the inflatable that kept things from getting too far out of hand. Our first iteration would have been with a piece of lightweight dryer vent tube.

We had prototyped one of these a while ago and it worked really wel, just not enough space in the bot. to get around the rules of inflating it ours did not get hooked into the pneumatic system, but instead a bag motor on a leaf blower impeller. worked great.
