Cripes!
Building a huge ball out of more than 175,000 rubber bands is dangerous business. Really.
“The rubber bands … sometimes they’ll break. That hurts,” said Steve Milton, whose 4,594-pound rubber band ball was certified Tuesday as the world’s largest by Guinness World Records officials. “As long as you wear your safety goggles, you’re good.”
Milton, 26, of Eugene, Ore., watched as four bodybuilders rolled the multicolored, rubbery mass – 5 1/2 feet high and 19 feet around – onto a giant scale in downtown Chicago for the official weigh-in.
