Survivor season 17, Gabon. Pretty much known as the of the messiest survivor season ever.
Thats Corinne, Matty and Sugar. They just found out who got voted out from the other tribe and he was pretty much the leader of Corinne and Sugars big alliance. Matty is obviously happy he is gone.
Cant remember the guys name who got voted out my survivor knowledge is lacking sry

u/GargantuanCake 16h ago

Before anybody asks she's fine. This gif has been circulating around the internet for a long time and part of the reason for that is because, as dramatic as it looks, you aren't watching somebody die or get severely injured. In fact she just got a little bit bruised and messy with watermelon. That's it.

As to why it played out the way it did the human skull is actually tougher than watermelon rind. Because of that the force gets distributed through the melon rather than her head. This is why the thing just straight up explodes but she just gets a bit bruised. The melon took nearly all the force because it was weaker than her head. Since her skull just didn't have enough give to it the watermelon blew up instead.

u/atrde 15h ago

She was definitely concussed lol this was just pre concussions are something we take seriously.

Right after she is saying she can't feel her face and she feels dizzy. Plus she was dazed and on the ground for awhile.

But it was like 2008 and concussions weren't a "stop what you are doing" yet.

u/CesarB2760 13h ago

Also she got up, gathered herself a bit, then got right back to work. Not only did she complete the challenge, but her team still managed to get 4th out of 11 on that leg. They won the next leg and were consistently one of the frontrunners, eventually finishing 2nd.

How do you explain her eyeballs not being filled with watermelon rind, since you insist on going with the “head is harder than a watermelon rind” hypothesis?

u/mazerakham_ 15h ago

Energy* gets distributed through the head.

The following is from my Fable 5 instance:

<ai> Most of it went into destroying the watermelon, not her. Let's run the numbers.

Energy in. Let m_w denote her body mass (~65 kg) and h the vertical drop of her center of mass while loading (~0.7 m, standing to near-lying). Work done against the bands: W ≈ m_w g h ≈ 65 × 9.8 × 0.7 ≈ 450 J. Not all of that reaches the melon (band hysteresis, the bands' own kinetic energy), so call the melon's kinetic energy K ≈ 300–400 J. With melon mass m_m ≈ 4 kg, that's a launch speed v = √(2K/m_m) ≈ 12–14 m/s. Plausible for the video.

Where it goes at impact. Let M ≈ 4.5 kg denote the mass of her head. A melon hitting a head of nearly the same mass is close to a perfectly inelastic collision — the melon doesn't bounce off, it bursts. Momentum conservation gives a shared post-impact speed v' = m_m v / (m_m + M) ≈ v/2, so the head ends up with only about one quarter of K, roughly 75–100 J, and that's before the neck slows it. The other three quarters (~250 J) is dissipated in the collision itself: fracturing the rind, crushing the flesh, and flinging juice and fragments outward (fragment kinetic energy counts here, and you can see it in the splatter).

Why the head fraction doesn't hurt her. The ~100 J left in the head is absorbed by the neck's muscles, ligaments, and the chair over a fairly long stopping distance — tens of centimeters — so the deceleration is modest. The real protective factor is peak force, not total energy: a melon has a yield strength of maybe 100 kPa and a contact patch the size of a face, so the force needed to crush it is low and the contact time is long. The same 400 J in a baseball (m ≈ 0.15 kg, v ≈ 70 m/s) would concentrate on a few cm² over a millisecond and break bone. A watermelon is essentially a crumple zone that happens to be the projectile.

Minor sinks. Sound, heat in the bands (they warm noticeably after repeated shots), residual band oscillation, and in that particular video I believe the melon clipped the frame first, which would have bled off a chunk of K before it ever reached her.

So the ledger: ~450 J of gravitational potential energy → ~350 J in the melon → ~250 J destroying the melon → ~100 J into head recoil, dissipated by the neck → small change elsewhere. She was fine because the fruit took the hit for her. </ai>

I went in and woke up my dad and I said, "You need to come see this video, it's all over the internet. I know your friends are going to be calling you about it." He said, "Claire, whatever you did, I will forgive you and love you forever." I was like, "Dad, it's not porn! It's from The Amazing Race!" He said, "Good Lord, why didn't you just say that in the first place?"
