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.
The world record for the Largest
Human Mattress Dominoes
was sponsored by the JC Rotaract
Club and the JC Gym Class Club.

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
.
Note: WRA has two different categories
for this record:
- Largest
Indoor Human Mattress Dominoes
and
- Largest
Outdoor Human Mattress Dominoes
The previous Guinness world record for the Largest
Human Mattress Dominoes
was set on Aug. 16, 2009 by
channel 9 studios in Sydney, Australia, with 80 people on
80 mattresses.
