A group of 850 mattress-equipped people have set a new world record for the human-attached mattress domino effect. The New Orleans-based stunt took a full nine-minutes for all the dominos to topple, but beat out the previous record holders in Spain with just 526 bedders.
After a thorough victory bouncing-on, all the mattresses used we then donated to charity. Getting a world record for 850 dominoed people is pretty impressive, but it’s not a patch on the record set for human dominos without mattresses – that was claimed by China with a colossal 10,267 people. Blimey that must have been carnage. [World Records Academy]

That commentator is immensely annoying.
I find quite a lot of American commentators irritating — but it’s not really their fault I guess.
I think it’s how they make them over there, speaking of which, can’t help noticing the number of highly rotund bodies in this domino chain.
unspeakably dull 10 minutes …if I wasn’t at work
Haha +1
I did warn you it was 9 minutes of falling. Ha ha. Work, who needs it eh?
Can we get that Chinese world record on video Sam?
Probably didn’t make it out of China. Shout if you find it though.

I found this 0:34 is where the action starts. It’s not all of it though.
Thanks
It was less exciting than I had hoped though. In-fact, it was pretty disappointing. They weren’t even really dominoes, they just kinda leaned back deliberately…
