Where did you get that number? Regardless, the biggest single factor in "failure" of a condom is not using it correctly. Would you ban automobiles because some drivers do stupid things with them? Most likely not, yet you appear to condemn condom use because of the failure of the user rather than failure of the condom itself. As with automobiles, condoms can be _very_ safe and _very_ effective when used _correctly_. The solution to a high "accident" rate for both automobiles and condoms is _education_, not banning.
