Condom Bungee Jumping

A bungee jumper took the plunge using a rope made out of condoms - which luckily worked without splitting or snapping. Veteran jumper Carl Dionisio said he created the unusual 30-metre rope to recreate "the virgin buzz" of his very first bungee. But he admitted that he was in a state of panic leading up to the jump, fearing the latex rope might let him down. He said he and friend Michael "Sniper" Xaba spent four months making the rope out of 18,500 condoms.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."

I'm glad the rope didn't break, but it sounds like some people have way too much time on their hands, tying 18,500 condoms together to make a bungee cord? Those condoms should have been donated to men under 40 in L.A. that Paris Hilton is going to infect soon, people in third world countries or teens in the States who actually need them instead of a one-time adrenaline rush.
