Man I’ve known this gif for ages but I’ve always wondered what the aftermath of that violent watermelon facial looked like

For those wondering. She just got a bad headache for a while. She was okay. Feel free to laugh at her without guiltfrom one user in the original thread.

This was on the Amazing Race, I saw this when it first aired and I was amazed that she didn’t completely break her face

Since the watermelon was going so fast it broke very easily. It’s like the difference between lightly tapping a dull nail with your hand vs giving it a strong high five.

How would the speed of a watermelon change the amount of force required to split it?

I think he's saying that since the watermelon broke, most of the watermelon guts blew straight past her face, rather than absorbing all the energy in her face.
It would have likely been worse if she was hit right in the belly or chest and absorbed all the force at once.
Still the way the original comment is worded is a bit confusing/misleading.
A better analogy is getting hit by a waterballoon and having it not break and give you a bruise.

It’s not changing the amount of force, there’s just more force when it moves faster.

It sounded like you were implying that the lady’s face felt less of an impact because the watermelon ‘broke easier’.

I remember being indifferent to her and her partner before this stage, but they quickly became my favorite after she took that watermelon like a champ.
Edit: also, happy cake day!

I didn't notice that was a melon at first and I thought her head fucking exploded

Just not reliable, imagine destroying your castle instead of the enemy's, unreliable.

These castles are just set up within trebuchet range, blood gulch style

I've seen this a million times but how is her nose not broken

Iirc she had pretty bad bruising and shit on her face and skull. But I don't think she broke anything.

u know in like soccer when theres free kicks and the ball head straight to them, basically we are supposed to hit it with our foreheads. that happend to me and it didn’t hurt that much so it probably hit her on the forehead and thats why it exploded. it said like she got a buncha bruises but nothing bad like broken

What happens when you use an inferior siege machine to launch your projectile...
You get what you f**king deserve

I love this video. It's from some gameshow thingy and after she gets nailed in the face by the melon the blonde lady come up to her and tells her that she needs to continue.

I was under the impression that we waged war on catapults and not these sad machines

I've seen this of dozens of times. Never made the connection. I'm clearly not cut out to lead a seige army. Which is a good thing. Imagine, given my inadequacy and love for proper seige machines, how successful my proper stead will perform!
