The Mattress Dominoes Toppling record

Topics

El Loro

From the BBC:

A new world record for human mattress dominoes has been set in Newcastle, organisers have claimed.

Four hundred mattresses were toppled in under four minutes on Saturday morning. The previous record of 380 was set in New York City two weeks ago.

The event at a warehouse in Newburn was organised by Palatine Beds and involved a line of volunteers falling back on mattresses like dominoes.

The toppling is still to be verified by Guinness World Records.

The event was recorded and the video will be sent on to see if a new world record will be confirmed.

How odd!
They all seemed to be enjoying it though. It amused me that as soon as they had toppled people had a camera in their hands and seemed to be photographing other people with cameras.
Also amusing that men wearing high-visability vests and carrying sticks were hovering threateningly, while running children tried to keep pace with the fallers.
