The 18,500 Condom Bungee Jump. A Darwin Award Winner
Portuguese-born Mad man Carl Dionisio is a thrill seeker. To recreate the excitement, trepidation and fear of his first ever bungee jump, he decided to make his own rope from 18,500 condoms. (unused condoms I assume).
Carl, 37, said: “It was difficult as the condoms are slippery. When we tied knots they would just slip out.
“Latex is latex. But the cord was based on a mathematical formula and although I was 99 per cent sure that it would work, my stomach was in a knot for a month before the jump.”
The fear of your condom breaking has never been so intense…
Im not quite sure what that proved…but nice one! via

All I can think of — all that Latex dust gross. As an aside, what do you do with those condoms which are closed at both ends. “Little Smokies”
