A man in Germany was killed on Christmas Day 2015 while attempting to rob a condom machine after his bomb exploded prematurely. 

The unidentified 29-year-old and two cohorts tried to blow up the machine in Schoppingen for condoms and cash. However, one of the robbers was hit in the head by a shard of metal when the bomb exploded before they could reach a safe distance from the blast. 

The survivors told authorities their friend had fallen down the stairs but later confessed to wrecking the machine. They were subsequently arrested and later released from custody.
