The World's largest rubber band ball is DEAD!

I have just found out that the World's largest rubber band ball has been disposed because it was badly damaged. It couldn't be repaired. So the spot for the World record is now OPEN. Who's next? ;) I really hope it'll be me. :)
Please subscribe to my channel if you want to follow how I'm going to break this record. I'll purchase rubber bands on every penny earned from YT. Thank you!

You scared me i thought your ball broke i was about to cry

Same i almost had a heart attack

[@darrenfood]

Completely agree about the previous 'record' I never thought it should have counted, it wasn't even nearly round. Looking forward to seeing you become the new record holder, as you certainly won't cut corners.

That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see you break records.

[@JackHoward96]

This makes me seriously question the competence of Ripley’s as an institution.

[@dogsareawesome9197]

I was scared by the title because i thought it broke, and i was scared when the vid started because i thought you were gonna start wrapping it like that 💀

[@tlowe0911]

that ball is so cool.I'm working on beating your record thow

[@homeyworkey]

the title really scared me, but you're right your ball is much cooler then the bigger knots people do. thing is i dont know if you can get to the sizes that they do using your strategy, hopefully im wrong. whats the maximum sized rubber band ball you could make using singular rubberbands?

[@BenjiWilliams]

The largest ball made without chaining rubber bands is currently 3500 pounds so I can at least get there.

[@tamaramacadam8650]

I guess the question is how do you preserve a rubber band ball anyway? Latex is natural and degrades pretty easily. There are rubber preserving things but... it seems against the spirit of things. I guess all you can do is just keep adding to it so the surface is always fresh, heh.

[@tlowe0911]

u keep it in the refrigerator..i thought you knew that bro

[@Diablobuster]

When will you reach 10,000 lbs? How many years will it take you?

[@BenjiWilliams]

I am waiting to get a good price for rubber bands and if things go well, I will get 5000 pounds of rubber bands in one go.

[@lesliewilliams]

Cool logo for your video.

[@BenjiWilliams]

Thanks :)

[@adaptablerubenvideos3097]

Hope you one day be able to take the world record for the largest rubber band ball that is not tied one day which is around 4300lb currently i think. The only rubber band ball i know that its growing faster than yours is the one made by dylan ayres but he is using tied rubber bands to save on cost so you still probably get the record for a non tied rubber band.

Go Benji!!!!❤❤❤

[@BenjiWilliams]

Yeah!

[@musicaquesoa]

I thougt the ball broke or some aaaaaa

[@Poop_Scoop71]

The man, the myth, the legend… is BACK!

[@cristofermorales7234]

Yeah no knots

[@dogsareawesome9197]

Do you hage a pattern when putting rubber bands on it, or just random?

[@BenjiWilliams]

I just make sure to never put rubber bands on the same spot twice and instead criss cross them to make the surface even.

[@dogsareawesome9197]

@@BenjiWilliams okay

[@sidtacular]

That’s crazy! I followed the guy on MySpace when he was making it and eventually sold it to Ripleys. I started my ball in 2005 when the world record was 3300lbs. It was later broken by the Office Depot sponsored guy at over 5000lbs then this one beat him a short time later. So, is the Office Depot ball still around I wonder? If so, I’d assume it’s the current unofficial record holder.

[@BenjiWilliams]

I believe that the largest still existing ball is the 3200 pound one.

[@sidtacular]

@@BenjiWilliams I actually chatted with the guy who built that one back in the day. Cool dude.

[@jhudson_tiedye]

@@BenjiWilliams surprise surprise it was built with loops not chains

[@sebynat0rzZz]

What!!

[@monsterunderyourbed475]

I believe in you dawg 👍

[@BenjiWilliams]

Thank you

[@jsprings5981]

You’re gonna have to tie them eventually you’re not gonna be able to reach around it plus 17 in bands won’t fit when the ball gets a few thousand more pounds.

[@Mnr_mo]

how much does it weigh now ?

[@BenjiWilliams]

1173 pounds
