Easy:
Improper storage, e.g., hidden in his car during the summer months and parked in a sunny place. (Genius keeps his in his gym bag in his shave kit — never left in the car — although there is no way to control how much time did they spent sitting in Port authorities sun beaten container yard.)
Damaged during installation, e.g. nicked by a burr on a fingernail during installation. (Genius installs his own when needed, fingernails kept trimmed and smooth with emery board)
Age. Failure rate increases on older condoms. (Genius buys his at Target where there is a large turnover in inventory and, although not for reliability purposes, he can pay for it at the self-checkout)
You win the manufacturers defects lottery. Manufacturers have with any product allowed rates of manufacturing defects. This would vary greatly based on the product, e.g., very very low on parachutes and not so low on ping pong balls. The present acceptable quality limit (AQL) for North American condom manufacturers is 99.6% ( 4 per 1000) of condoms free of leaks. Although free of leaks defects does not include a thin weak spot somewhere on the condom.
