Indian man smashes 122 coconuts in a minute

Abheesh P Dominic, a man of India's Kerala, broke open over a hundred coconuts with his bare hand to set a Guinness World Record.

Dominic smashed the record in the city of Kottayam earlier this year in February.

But a video of his feat was uploaded on Guinness World Records' official YouTube channel on Wednesday. Dominic managed to crack the previous record of 118 coconuts.

A video of the feat shows 140 coconuts laid out in a long line on a low wall.

A group of enthusiastic supporters gather at a distance to cheer Dominic during his record attempt as he waits for his time to begin.

Going at a speed of two coconuts a second, he brings his right fist down with force each time. The 60-second attempt ends successfully with 122 smashed coconuts.

"I decided to break this record because I am from a remote village and Guinness World Records is only a dream for any one of us," Dominic tells the organiser.

"I am a man of strong determination and I strongly believe in the willpower of human beings”, he mentioned.
