Exploding watermelons look even cooler in slow motion

7/19/2012

Last week, a super-old video of some Korean pranksters using rubber bands to explode a watermelon started doing the Internet rounds again. The clip inspired the Slow Mo Guys to replicate the stunt — in glorious super-slow-motion, of course. Presenters Gav and Dan spend 20 minutes wrapping 500 rubber bands around an innocent watermelon, and then ... kablammo! "Do you reckon if you did that to a human head it would eventually cave in?" ponders one of the boys. Fingers crossed they don't upload that experiment to YouTube.
