I thought about putting this in MNS, but . . . The guy puts his money where his mouth is, I guess. The link contains video of the 'proving.'
Man Gets Shot In Groin To Test ‘Bulletproof Jockstrap’
An entrepreneur who has developed a bulletproof jockstrap has taken the ultimate stand behind his device, allowing his business partner to shoot him in the groin in order to demonstrate its effectiveness.
Jeremiah Raber, 38, is the inventor behind Nutshellz, a bulletproof jockstrap that is specifically designed to protect a man’s most sensitive area from a wide array of threats, as the Huffington Post reports. Though there are other bulletproof jockstraps currently on the market, Raber’s device is made from ballistic Kevlar, and is considered to be six times stronger than steel. Raber relates that the inspiration behind developing a bulletproof jockstrap came from seeing one of his favorite MMA fighters downed by a swift blow to the groin.
“I didn’t expect to leave the bar that night thinking about the best ways to protect a pair of testicles, but I just thought there had to be a better way to absorb the shock from a misdirected kick to the groin,†he noted.

Most sales of the jockstraps are to police, SWAT teams, and military personnel, yet they have also been utilized by athletes. Raber has launched a $30,000 Kickstarter campaign in an effort to develop a smaller version for younger boys. As the Inquisitr has previously reported, the crowdfunding website has been utilized to amass venture capital for everything from films to inventions like Raber’s jockstrap.
Oooooooookay . . . He's got a set of big balls, eh (rhetorically)?
