Largest Human Mattress Dominoes-world record set
byJuniata College
HUNTINGDON, Pa., USA -- One hundred and fifty
nine students at Juniata College and their mattresses set
the new world record
for the Largest
(Outdoor) Human Mattress Dominoes.
Leah Cullen, a student from Pittsburgh,
Pa. and president of the JC gym class club, arrived at the
idea through a tweet posted by a movie star about the mattress
dominoes record being broken this past summer. She
said, "I saw the clip and immediately found breaking that
new record was feasible." Three Huntingdon area officials have agreed
to act as witnesses and stewards for the event: Mike Fleck,
Pennsylvania representative; Foster Ulrich, mayor of Huntingdon;
and Charles Streightiff, chief of police for Huntingdon.
Typically, students sprawled around on mattresses
throughout the campus quad means burst pipes in dorm buildings
or insufficient housing accommodations when in reality such
a sight is going to be a world record attempt for the Largest
Human Mattress Dominoes.
