Elastic-band ball

[kristopherb]

What is the largest elastic-band ball? I've looked in the Guinness worlds record books but i can't find it.

I know for a fact it is bigger that the 2nd biggest.

I know for a fact it is bigger that the 2nd biggest.

This argument is acceptable,I guess..

A good 2 meters in diameter if I recall. Why?

Please don't tell me you want to attempt this record yourself...

Where dose one find giant rubber bands like those?

I would check Wikipedia for answers but for some really strange reason Wkipedia is not working right now, so...

Apparently the record is done by mass...

That ball is somewhere around 1900 kg...

If I were to make a ball of the same size, with a lead ball in the center, and about 40cm thick of bands to cover it up, it would have a mass of over 5000 kg, and would look exactly the same.

And it's better than the biggest ball of twine!
