Most walnuts cracked against the head

S. Navin Kumar of Nellore, India recently smashed 217 walnuts with his head in one minute, thereby beating the old record by 36 walnuts.

Unfortunately the video ended too soon. I wanted to see what his forehead looked like after finishing.

Also, he lost a lot of time turning around the end of the table. I bet he could beat his record simply by setting up a longer row of tables.

Even better: automate! Build a contraption that conveys the walnuts along while Navin stands still and cracks. When the speed gets too high for his neck muscles, his lackeys can hold his head and do the cracking with it.

Virtual,

Why settle for partial automation when you can go even further? Strap the guy to a chair and set up an automatic walnut pneumatic gun. Guaranteed world record even if he passes out.

Even better. With some thought given to the gun, he might be able to completely sweep the categories of Most ________ Broken with the Head – eggs, pumpkins, bricks, .... He'll be famous, sort of, even if he doesn't survive.
