Man smashes 31 pumpkins in world record attempt

A man in America hopes he's broken the world record for smashing the most pumpkins in one minute.

Ashrita Furman from New York, smashed 31 pumpkins - the existing world record is 15.

He's even made sure the pumpkins don't go to waste and has given them to a local chef to make into pumpkin pies.

This isn't Ashrita's first world record attempt either, he says he currently holds more than 200 Guinness World Records, including one for the most records.

Guinness officials will have to certify the results of his latest attempt before they become official and although this might look fun, please don't try anything like this yourself at home.
