Man takes bullet to groin to prove strength of sports cup
omebody get this guy on “Shark Tank!”
A Missouri resident claims to have the strongest jockstrap in the world — and he’s willing to take a bullet to prove it.
Jeremiah Raber, 38, is the mastermind behind Nutshellz, a sports cup that he is marketing to law enforcement, athletes and the armed forces, according to Barcroft.
Constructed with “the strongest materials known to man,” the groin protector comes in two models.
“The first is made with Kevlar and carbon fiber and is primarily for heavy impact sports such as hockey, baseball, cricket and MMA,” he explained. “The second cup is for police and the military and has a higher strength material at its core called Dyneema – which is half the weight of Kevlar and is twice as strong.”
In order to show just how much force his jockstrap can take, Raber talked his business partner and avid hunter Matt Heck into blasting him in the groin with a gun as he wore the latter jockstrap.
“I wanted to know what my product felt like when hit by a bullet and we used a .22 long rifle,” Raber said. “I wasn’t worried about the trigger-man missing but there was a bit of worry about the bullet skidding off the cup. But I was protected in the vital areas around the cup.”
In the end, the bullet hit its mark — and Raber escaped with his manhood still intact.
“We approached the problem by choosing the best and incorporating it into our product,” he explained. “I guess guys have to ask themselves how much are their nuts worth?”
