  Yes I completely agree with you Dan... I was being a bit greedy and going for all the pillows I could find and couldn't even handstand on them convincingly, I could hold 3 seconds on 5 pillows so maybe we should cut it back to that so the handstand actually looks like one... I might resubmit? I agree that a minimum is required as is with other records otherwise it barely counts. I was being a little cheeky and was hoping the fact that it's barely a handstand would be overlooked, but obviously I didn't get away with it, proving your dedication to consistent verification!

  Great record category, but should this handstand really be counted? I think we need a minimum length criteria, ie. must hold handstand for at least 3 seconds. Peter, your suggestion re: secondary measurement is a start, but we need a some type of minimum as a beginning point.

  @Hailey, yes the silk pillow slip and fluffy pillow below that made it too difficult... I should have done it with just the 8, it would have looked a lot better, the top two pillows ruined the attempt a little as it was too floppy and slippery. I need to try and find some better pillow cases and better pillows, but that's also part of the challenge that usually you just have to use what you've got.

  Also, I would say any attempt submitted for this record can beat the previous with the same number of pillows with the secondary measurement of time - if someone can handstand cleanly for longer they should own the title.

  Why would you put the silk one on top?!
