Man dies after condom machine explosion
The Local de ^ | 12/28/2015

Posted on 12/28/2015 12:15:40 PM PST by Responsibility2nd

A young man from central Germany died in tragic circumstances on Christmas Eve after blowing up a condom machine with a homemade bomb.

The 29-year-old from Münster was hit by a steel shard from the condom dispenser which was positioned on a quiet street, local police disclosed on Monday.

Along with two friends, aged 27 and 29, the man had attached a homemade explosive device to the machine in an apparent attempt to get at the goods and money inside.

But he was unable to make it to safety in time, with the door of his car still open as the device detonated. The shard of metal then struck him in the head, leaving him unconscious.

His two accomplices took the man to hospital but he died of his wounds shortly afterwards.

At first the men claimed their friend had injured himself after falling down the stairs, before one later admitted to the connection to the exploded machine.

Police confirmed that the men did not take the money or condoms which had been set loose by the explosion. After being alerted by local residents, officers found the contents of the machine scattered on the street in front of it.

The two survivors of the incident were arrested before later being released from custody.

I guess German engineering doesn’t extend to birth control.

Then it occurred to me that he might be one of Germany's recent "refugees," and so had plenty of bombs on hand anyway.

It is odd that the linked website made no attempt to identify this loser by name. Too revealing?

How is this a tragedy? A criminal dies as a result of his own criminal act.

Now this, this is a true Darwin Award candidate. Not some damn fool walking off a cliff while staring at his smartphone.

You can get killed fooling around with home made explosive devices. Who knew?

So now when a girl asks me to wear one, I can truthfully say “no way, condoms kill!”

Sorry, the word ‘killed’ should have been in a red font in that post. I’ll make the correction in the next nineteen reposts.
