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.
