    I don't believe this video sufficiently demonstrates all the people hugging together. We're going to deny this attempt and revert to the previous record holder.

    Rob! I hope you were referring to me, and that you recongized me from CU-Boulder! I've been submitting record breakers and inspiring record breakers at my last 2 schools. This site ROCKS! I hope you are well buddy :)

    Thanks for your input on this Bjorn. That is actually a friend of the URDB family and we are going to post his world record shortly.

    This record can so easilly be broken in a larger flashmob. There is already a YouTube evidence that this one is broken: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOeEOn1ug3s
