[–]John_Dalton 96 points97 points ago

Is that her face exploding at the end there?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Chichichidori 36 points37 points ago

I think it was a mix of blood and watermelon juice.

[–]Brohanwashere 58 points59 points ago

And shame.

[–]Xodah 8 points9 points ago

There's no shame in breaking a full grown watermelon with your face. Lots of seeds though.

[–]AzureMagelet 10 points11 points ago

There was no blood.

[–]rabble-rouser 18 points19 points ago

I don't drink your milkshake?

[–]AzureMagelet 0 points1 point ago

What? Why not? I make good milkshakes? Well I mostly make smoothies, but when I make milkshakes they're good.

[–]Ikarus3426 9 points10 points ago

Don't let the horrible gore scare you from appreciating this .gif. This is from an episode of Amazing Race. Worse she got was a black eye.

[–]shlomo_baggins 10 points11 points ago

good to know, no matter how many times i see this gif, just the fact I know it's unedited still makes me think it's brutal as fuck.

[–]Ginnigan 0 points1 point ago

I remember that episode. Made my nose feel tingly seeing it then, makes me nose feel tingly seeing it now. Ouch.

[–]CamilleElise4 2 points3 points ago

Happy reddit anniversary!

[–]Spoonzilla 1 point2 points ago

You as well, random stranger!

[–]Ginnigan 0 points1 point ago

And to both of you! I can't bake, but if I could I'd bake a cake for three! :')

[–]Wakatipu_Yeti -1 points0 points ago

Did she died?

[–]GreekPrincess 42 points43 points ago

This makes me feel sick every time I see it. Where is it from? Did she live or did she choke and die on her own teeth?

[–]Jasonrj 61 points62 points ago

Apparently she survived and was relatively ok:

[–]2ndChanceCharlie 80 points81 points ago

I love how they are like, "I know you just took a 15 pound watermelon to the face from a giant slingshot... but you have to finish this task or you are off the show."

[–]lmpervious 20 points21 points ago

On the other hand, I hate how they then say "They don't call it the amazing race for nothing."

Oh.. okay. Yeah this is just a typical occurrence on the show that contests have to endure, and that is why it is called the amazing race. Gtfo.

[–]ldawg092498 1 point2 points ago

And also the fact that nobody even tries to help her. They're just like "hey that looked like it hurt. Hope you're okay. Alright now finish your task so we can leave."

[–]Dugen 7 points8 points ago

"Despite having clear signs of head trauma, I'll encourage you to keep engaging in the activity that caused it in the first place"

Goddamn retarded coach is lucky she didn't encourage this girl to death, because smashing your brain hard enough to bruise it is bad, but you usually recover. Smashing already bruised and swollen brain is another thing entirely though, and from what I understand is much more likely to cause permanent brain damage. I don't care how f'ing amazing your race is, it's not worth brain damage.

[–]Themiffins 19 points20 points ago

I find it funny that literally seconds before she gets hit in the face her coach, or what ever that blond chick is, states, "Right in the kisser."

[–]lmpervious 6 points7 points ago

It's very possible they edited that in later since it fit so well.

[–]Ixistant 1 point2 points ago

It's her teammate. In The Amazing Race it's teams of 2, and on this type of task only one team member can perform it and they're not allowed to change over during either.

[–]Sobertese 3 points4 points ago

Oh god, I love instant replay.

[–]vanheldenma 7 points8 points ago

How did she not even get a nosebleed?

[–]Jasonrj 44 points45 points ago

There's probably some chunks of watermelon up in her nasal cavity that are putting pressure on the wounds and stopping the bleeding.

I'm imagining she donates her body to research and upon her death decades from now some med student is perplexed by the melon rind in her skull.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

The watermelon exploding took up most of the energy. If the slingshot was weaker and the watermelon did not explode, she would likely be dead.

[–]Rayofpain 2 points3 points ago

so you're saying there is a certain velocity that the watermelon had to exceed, or else it would not have broken upon impact, and therefore would have killed her?

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

That's what I'm saying. It sounds backwards and false, but it's physics.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Science is so fucking cool.

[–]grundose 3 points4 points ago

It's like when martial arts people break stuff. If they don't actually break through the object and bounce it hurts significantly more. A significant amount the energy the melon carries into her head gets dispersed as melon shrapnel flying everywhere, rather than a solid object going from however many meters per second to 0 quickly, using her face to absorb the energy.

[–]nukelukem 0 points1 point ago

There must be a point where it reaches death-speed, again. I'm assuming 1000 MPH watermelon to the face = death?

[–]funktion 2 points3 points ago

at 1000 mph, pretty much anything to the face = death

[–]BugChaser4Life 10 points11 points ago

I took a neutrino to the mouth this morning and I turned out fine.

[–]SubtlePineapple 1 point2 points ago

Hell I take photons at 3x108 km/h to the face all the time and I'm fine!

[–]Gemini4t 0 points1 point ago

Too bad for you it doesn't help your face either.

[–]Lord-Longbottom 0 points1 point ago

(For us English aristocrats, I leave you this 1000 mph -> 2688000.0 Furlongs/Fortnight) - Pip pip cheerio chaps!

[–]voodoo1102 -1 points0 points ago

I almost wish there would be a nuclear war, just so this bot would be killed by the EMP.

[–]Daler_Mehndi 0 points1 point ago

Even a pillow?

[–]CompasslessPigeon 0 points1 point ago

try playing paintball sometime, it really shows perfectly how this works. when you get hit by a paintball and it explodes it stings a little and might give you a little welt. if you get hit by a paintball that doesn't explode you will be in a lot more pain and have a much bigger welt and bruise

[–]tmccaughan 0 points1 point ago

The only problem being the force to break a watermelon isn't all that high to begin with, so death wouldn't be likely.

[–]SANDBOX1108 2 points3 points ago

She took the hit like a champ. She didn't give up, she didn't cry, she actually went back to slinging watermelons.

[–]vertigo1083 12 points13 points ago

Respawning in the kitchen in 3...2...1

10/10

Best youtube comment I've seen in days.

[–]TheVandyMan 1 point2 points ago

Youtube comment:

Respawing in kitchen in 3... 2... 1...

I just wanted to share that for those who didn't see it.

[–]talitus 0 points1 point ago

I'm amazed that her face wasn't smashed.

[–]PaullyDee19 -2 points-1 points ago

That wasn't a real watermelon. Probably a water balloon at most.

[–]joecool4234 17 points18 points ago

I think it's from an episode of The Amazing Race a few seasons back. I don't think there were any severe injuries, she was just shaken up a bit.

[–]P0llyPrissyPants 1 point2 points ago

And she was forced to finish the challenge or whatever she was doing.

[–]Biotic_Cow 1 point2 points ago

But then I think I remember her team sticking through to the final part of the race, and I think this scene was from the first part of the race.

[–]IvyGold 0 points1 point ago

Yes - it was the opening ep of season 17 of TAR. That's Claire. She and her teammate Brooke finished 4th in that leg despite the watermelon, and did very well during the rest of the race. They'll be back for the next all-star race, I'd bet.

[–]Biotic_Cow 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, those two were awesome!

[–]GAMEchief 1 point2 points ago

It did minimal damage, surprisingly.

[–]Ikarus3426 0 points1 point ago

When this hit the news, they said she might have gotten a black eye. That's it.

[–]Renmauzuo 0 points1 point ago

She was fine, but the show hosts were assholes about it. They made her keep competing and wouldn't take her to the hospital, if memory serves.

[–]kingebeneezer3 -2 points-1 points ago

How is this the number one comment on this thread?

[–]wrerwin 18 points19 points ago

Right in the face. Just like I like it.

[–]mnch 7 points8 points ago

I'll make sure i don't get any in your hair...

[–]stumanktm 15 points16 points ago

But it's not your cakeday...

[–]SalemDrumline2011[S] 2 points3 points ago

Well... I think the problem is that cakeday starts the exact second you created your account, therefore making it 24 hours, but not the 24 hours of one day

[–]EthErealist -3 points-2 points ago

Interesting. Happy Cake Day!!! Whenever my birthday lands on Father's Day, I just accept it, celebrate my day a week later or something, and enjoy all the food I eat during the Daddy Day Dinner lol.

[–]SgtSama 0 points1 point ago

It is in fact his cakeday. Check the profile.

Gif starts at around 22 seconds

Girl was ok, her only complaint was that she couldn't feel her face which under the circumstances was probably a good thing.

[–]proboscislounge 1 point2 points ago

...and that she had the worst headache and couldn't see straight. girl probably had a concussion and should have been taken away on a stretcher. i didn't see a safety team in the clip, either. how do you even do a segment like this without medics on hand?

[–]Siethron 8 points9 points ago

My birthday has been on Mother's Day several times, I know that feel.

[–]cjb630 5 points6 points ago

I bet this lady browses /r/funny and she's like "Fuck! It's me again!"

[–]primeministerZebulon 3 points4 points ago

that is the best gif i have ever seen i could watch that for hours

[–]LiveAndLetDiarrhea 8 points9 points ago

New flash: No one cares about you stupid fucking 'cakeday'.

[–]SalemDrumline2011[S] 1 point2 points ago

NO CAKEDAY UPVOTE FOR YOU. POOPHEAD

[–]LiveAndLetDiarrhea 0 points1 point ago

Wow you seem retarded, I'm sorry.

[–]kiorte 3 points4 points ago

I could watch this all day

[–]johnzx6r 1 point2 points ago

Upvote for shared pain.

[–]iinventeddice 1 point2 points ago

That watermelon was apparently labelled return to sender.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

When that happened I bet you could hear the on set legal council's balls retract.

edit: head=hear

[–]noxert323 0 points1 point ago

what

[–]pyrosterilizer 1 point2 points ago

BOOM HEADSHOT!!

[–]coolarooni135 0 points1 point ago

In case it hasn't been said yet, it's not really a watermelon in the. It was a water balloon. There are a couple of videos on Youtube explaining it.

[–]BigJohnful 0 points1 point ago

Back, and to the left...

[–]hipstergrandpa 0 points1 point ago

i love this clip

[–]pinchepanda 0 points1 point ago

Oh, God. Seeing it in slow-motion while it loaded was too much for me.

Now to follow up the .gif with the .gif where the guy has a ridiculous smile.

[–]terminal_velocity 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this gif a million times.... And it still isn't old! XD

[–]cutofyourgibberish 0 points1 point ago

Well, it is always safe to repost something for the 83rd time to get your coveted cake day karma.

[–]buildallthethings 0 points1 point ago

I saw this when it originally broadcast... most guilty 5 minutes of belly laughing ever.

[–]Bencool 0 points1 point ago

She is dead.

[–]tha_dood 0 points1 point ago

did she die?

[–]afic95 0 points1 point ago

Wait, so when you were supposed to be spending time with your father you instead made a reddit account?

[–]bippyz 0 points1 point ago

That was the best moment of that season.

Oh and she was pregnant too. Didn't know it at the time, but there were a lot of watermelon/seed jokes later on.

[–]Usernamesarefornubes 0 points1 point ago

It's my cake day as well so I feel your pain my friend. My mom felt the need to get me one of those obnoxious birthday pins so people knew it was my birthday -_-

I call bullshit, that is definitely a waterballoon. A watermelon would not expolde like that and it if did in fact hit your face you would have serious injuries. Reality TV at its best.
