Broken Bed World Records

850 Human Mattress Dominoes Fall to Take Guinness Top Spot

Guinness World Records has become home to some of the most bizarre stunts, not excluding the recently broken human mattress dominoes stunt. True to its name, the stunt involves a variety of individuals bound to vertically standing mattresses and spaced out carefully before the first one was tipped.

Over 800 people of New Orleans came together to take a fall for their city but thankfully they had a gigantic mattress strung to their backs to cushion their fall. With smiles and a little worry as soon as they were tipped, each individual mattress would keel over taking its bed mate down with it and managed to hit the vertically standing mattress behind it on the way down to keep the chain running. The Telegraph secured a video of this human mattress dominoes event that is sure to make you smile.
