A 38-year-old brave businessman has invented a groin protector which he dubbed Nutshellz believed to have the power to protect men from all forms of harms in the ‘T zone”.
In his bid to test the efficiency of his new invention, Jeremiah Raber volunteered to get shot on his balls with a rifle.
Good enough, the groin protector was active as the balls remained unhurt after the shots which proved that the product could actually be a masterpiece.
The CEO of Armored Nutshellz, performed the stunt in collaboration with his friend Matt Heck (the guy with the rifle), and recorded it to raise publicity for his Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.
In the video, Raber was seen placing the cup underneath his jeans and standing next to a tree while Heck did the shooting.
He said, “We take product testing very seriously. “Don’t try this at home.” before he pulled down his jeans while his friend pulled the trigger.
According to Metro International, Raber later revealed that the protector was originally intended for mixed martial arts fighters.
When he first began to work on it six years ago, he wanted to help them better absorb blows to the testicles, so he built a shell made of Kevlar laminated with a ‘ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene’ called Dyneema, which makes it able to withstand extreme punishment while offering a high degree of comfort for the wearer.
Nutshellz has been getting moderate attention both from the sports world, but also from police and the military.
Unfortunately, for Raber, he’s having trouble getting production off the ground, as he still has to make them himself on a machine press in his basement.
Meanwhile, Raber hopes to raise over $30,000 through his Kickstarter campaign, just to keep Nutshellz afloat.
He claims to have already spent $200,000 creating the world’s strongest groin guard.
