World’s Fastest Clapper Can Smack His Hands Together 13 Times a Second

Everyone, put your hands together for Bryan Bednarek, allegedly the fastest clapper in the world. In a YouTube video that recently went viral, he was able to clap 802 times in just 60 seconds,thus setting a new record.

How fast can you clap your hands? You probably think you’re pretty good at it, but try keeping your fastestrhythm up for a whole minute. I tried it and I almost pulled a muscle in the process. And it’s all Bryan Bednarek’s fault for making it look so easy on camera. A friend of his filmed him pulverizing the current official record for most claps in one minute, and posted it on the internet, just to make the rest of us feel bad. According to the video counter, Bryan managed to smack his hands together 802 times, a whopping 81 times more than what Guinness record holder Kent French managed back in 2003. I don’t know if the count is right, but just the way he manages to keep up the insane clapping pace is unbelievable. This guy is like The Flash of clapping.

There’s no word yet on whether Guinness has verified the video and deemed French’s record to be broken, or if they’ve asked Bryan to do it all over again for an official count, but the guy seems pretty confident about his ability. I wonder if he does his thing at concerts?
