A group in the U.K. has broken the world record for the largest human-mattress domino fall.
After four months of planning, 400 mattresses were lined up and toppled this weekend, each held by someone who fell to the floor with their respective bedding.
Organizers Palatine Beds, owned by the Newcastle City Council, had expected to break the current record (which stood at 256) easily by toppling 301 mattresses -- but just two weeks ago, a team in New York knocked over 380.
As a result they were forced to increase the mattress count. But, because not enough participants had come forward, they also had to improvise by getting the first two rows of people to pick their mattresses up and quickly run around to rejoin the end of the line.
In total it took just three minutes and 41 seconds for all 400 mattresses to fall. Check below to see the stunt in action.
