Somebody 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.

How much would they have to pay you to undergo this product test?

[RatRipper]

Watch out for the . . . ricochet!!!!

There are no materials strong enough for me to be on the receiving end of that test. lol

“Nutshellz”.....catchy.

Is that guy nuts?

Is anyone else imagining a bullet skipping along the surface of that thing and hitting your femoral artery? Is that just me?

[MeganC]

I hope the DoD buys these for combat troops.

[JRandomFreeper]

Um... NO!

And that's my final answer.

That's just crazy.

I was going to post the same thing. And that high up on your leg, a severed femoral artery would spray blood like a garden hose. He'd be dead in a minute.

This reminds me of a story my brother told me. He was drafted in,I think 1968 for Nam. He told me that during basic training the DI would put the M16 between his (the DI)legs on his groin and fire it calling the M16 a toy.

[Lurker]

The fact that one can do a thing doesn’t mean one should.

Now CRAZY would be letting his ex-wife fire the gun during the test.....

[right way right]

No it’s not just you.
Ricochets too.
I was shooting golf balls once and had a stinger come back and hit my hand. Stupid, but the golf balls do fly off in a pretty cool way. No blood but hurt good. .22

[JRandomFreeper]

AMEN!

I can do without the example.

I’d say the GOPe needs to get this product but I think it is too late to be useful. I think their nuts have already been shelled.

Bruce Jenner would do it for free.
