It would be epic if it didn’t defy the laws of physics (initial potential energy of launcher must be exceeded in order to strike the operator in the face).
naw. That would only apply if the melon stayed in the launcher. what appears to have happened here is that it got tangled/twisted and didn’t release the melon on the forward path but did release the melon on the return path.
The watermelon got twisted in the launcher, so when it traveled to the opposite side, the elastic stretched again, and the restoring force sent it sailing back toward her.
Make yourself a slingshot, twist something up in it, and try it out for yourself if you sincerely don’t think it’s possible.
She couldn’t see straight for a little while afterward (amazingly she still finished and managed not to get her team eliminated) but I’m not sure if she got a concussion. If she did, they didn’t mention it on The Amazing Race.
This is a fake. It’s set up on American TV. Scripted into the show. If you watch it you can see she has no mark on her face, no bits of melon…just wet, because it’s a water balloon.
yeah just at the end of the vid says… amazing race starting on…
and what’s with the stupid comment “they dont call it the amazing race for nothing” I mean come on!!! that watermellon would have totally screw up that woman’s face, seriously..
This video has been viral for over a month now. It’s even on mainstream sites like the NY Post and CBS (it’s from a CBS show), not to mention hundreds of copies on YouTube. Get with the program! FAILBlog fail.
1 – It’s sped up. It’s still a solid hit in the face, but it’s nothing like it appears in this “video”
2 – Why the motherfu(king sh1t would you upload an animated gif, when you could just have uploaded the actual video? It’s already widely spread and unless I remember wrong, it has even been on failblog.
I actually prefer the gifs, mainly because sometimes I’m on a junky computer that, for whatever reason, can’t display the videos, so the gifs make it easier on me LoL.
So you decided to add the real video. Didn’t make it that much better, since you decided to retard edit it to hell. Show the fu(king aftermath, instead of retard repeats.
FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE…… it is just a water baloon with red water. Look at the slow motion. The object is the size of a tennis ball and explodes on impact. Watermellons are hard and would have broken into large parts. AND taken her head off.
HAHAHAHAHA.. the best part is the end of the full video, where she says she can’t feel her face and that she has the worst headache ever, and “What do we do now?” And her partner (I assume; never seen the show) says “Well, you have to finish” and watermelon-head is like “OH NOES!”
This reminds me of the mythbusters ‘Border slingshot’ episode, adam described the first launch of their goalpost slingshot as “The scariest thing I have ever done on this show!”
Sorry, I don’t watch Mythbusters. I did, however, see the episode with the exploding birds; and it was AAAAAAAAAAAAA WWWWWWWWWWWW EEEEEEEEEEE SSSSSSSSSSS OOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM EEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god I am listening to Flying Overseas by Theophilus London right now and it has the exact same beat as this gif!!
Beat-Melon. Beat-melon. Beat-Melon. Beat-melon..
That had to SQUIRT.
Gallagher just masterbated to this.
Would you call this a facial?
After removing the teeth from your forehead….maybe
Feeling cheeky today?
My lips are sealed!
…..
Your mouth may say no,
but your eyes say…
⌠
⌡µckoff.
Oh, lashes mean “no”?
Who nose?
That’s what I ‘ear.
You’re such a good pupil
Looks like she was browbeat into doing it.
*Squeezes all*
Iris I could get in on this.
@Madness: Me tooth.
Kamikaze watermelon!
Eye see what you did there.
nobody knows the trebuchet I’ve seen
Does her band have any hits?
Catapulted to #1.
I wonder if anyone has calculated the velocity of the melon?
Do you mean the lady’s head, or the other melon?
Well, we know the basics of it. Watermelon + Big slingshot + Backfire – all protection = Head explosion. Or an impact that looks similar to it.
I actually did an estimate for my physics class, came out to about 65 mph.
ouch! must have hurt.
The fruit’s killing skills are remarkable
Bahahaha CoD humor
Head-shooting melon! awesome
well at least her t!ts are unharmed
No melons were harmed during the making of this animated gif.LOLOLOLOL
The Amazing Race games sucks
EPIC

o.O was it her head exploding or…
… melon head asplode …
Blind Melon
Yeah, but think about it: if a melon is a favourite head-substitute for head-trauma demonstrations…..
ok

Doesn’t it almost seem like she got decapitated? o.O
Ah, the troubles of “The Amazing Race.”
It was good to watch! Right afterwards she showed some real spunk and determination, and completed the challenged with a numb head. Umm…actually…
Well they really are juicing this for all its worth. Get it? Juicing this? Because it is a watermelon?
I guess that may not really work…
Did she died ?
I wonder too ..
LOL no she didnt die, she is still going strong, this was on the Amazing Race TV show
In such case it’s win. If I saw that, I would not even call an ambulance.
She died.
Not physically.
Even-wise only.
Did it blend?
This was only on here the other day?!
Yeah, welcome to a month ago.
Failblog has invented time travel.
Not so great akshully.
I’m starting to think failblog is in it’s self a fail.
Also you meant to say “actually”.
When in Rome spell like lolcats.
Or something.
The fruits of her labors did not pay off?
It may take more than a pear of painkillers to downsize that headache!
Get her to give a peach some attention. Don’t know how that works – must be something to do with sweetness
Grapeshot?
Well, she was acting so meloncholy.
Berry painful, yes.
I have indeed seen it an apple amount of times now.
*winces*
Hey! Put me down!
Oh nice. I love a noisy fling!
Wow, Drb, you have gained a puppy, whatcha gonna call it?
I thought I might call it “Now”. Whatcha think?
*comes, here now*
Wha?!
Just don’t call it “Spot”. My GF never did like it when I called out “Come Spot”
Impregnated.
*pours a bukkit of cold water on Jules*
*sigh
Bath time WIN
Ice bath? No thanks. Some like it hot.
And those that don’t we call the misfits.
Hahaha +6 or 7
Wasn’t this proven to be fake? They show her putting a watermelon in it, then the scene cuts and she’s launching it. Water Balloon.
No, this was on the TV Show Amazing Race. It was definitely a watermelon.
Yeah, I saw the show, it wasn’t fake.
–
<
BOOM! Head shot.
you beat me to it.
I don’t think I even want to know how much that hurt.
Headshot B**ch you just got owned .
Is there a slow motion version of this?
Or a longer version…
she mustve gotten a concussion or something
She couldn’t see straight for a little while afterward (amazingly she still finished and managed not to get her team eliminated) but I’m not sure if she got a concussion. If she did, they didn’t mention it on The Amazing Race.
*sigh* good way to kill a funny movie
LOL no she didnt die LOL this was on the Amazing Race TV show, and she is still going strong LOL
in soviet Russia, watermelon slings you!!
Watermelon says ” I’d hit that “
in soviet Russia, watermelon slings you!! Pwned
WATERMELON WIN !!
Fail gif…
Also, the original video is a lot funnier, especially with the “Show ‘em whos boss” comment right before that happened…
This is a fake. It’s set up on American TV. Scripted into the show. If you watch it you can see she has no mark on her face, no bits of melon…just wet, because it’s a water balloon.
getting a waterballon with this speed is painless?
lol you’re the fail. It’s from the Show Amazing Race. They have no reason to try to fake this. it was an unfortunate accident.
You would be surprised just how much of the stuff on these reality shows that are completely scripted.
Not that I think this particular incident is, but 80% of the stuff that happens is.
yeah just at the end of the vid says… amazing race starting on…
and what’s with the stupid comment “they dont call it the amazing race for nothing” I mean come on!!! that watermellon would have totally screw up that woman’s face, seriously..
It looks like the damn Zapruder film! Back, and to the left… back, and to the left… back, and to the left.
This video has been viral for over a month now. It’s even on mainstream sites like the NY Post and CBS (it’s from a CBS show), not to mention hundreds of copies on YouTube. Get with the program! FAILBlog fail.
Wasn’t this on FailBlog already, in video form?
What’s with all the animated GIF’s lately? Have we time-traveled back to 1998?
FAIL UPLOAD!
1 – It’s sped up. It’s still a solid hit in the face, but it’s nothing like it appears in this “video”
2 – Why the motherfu(king sh1t would you upload an animated gif, when you could just have uploaded the actual video? It’s already widely spread and unless I remember wrong, it has even been on failblog.
I actually prefer the gifs, mainly because sometimes I’m on a junky computer that, for whatever reason, can’t display the videos, so the gifs make it easier on me LoL.
Its still funny, meh boi.
this is so old. failblog sucks
Did she died?
“You could put your eye out with that!” Mom
“Back…and to the left. Back…and to the left.”
I could watch that all friggin’ day!
This is sort of dated now.
Still awesome.
“… There were no survivors.”
So you decided to add the real video. Didn’t make it that much better, since you decided to retard edit it to hell. Show the fu(king aftermath, instead of retard repeats.
Black Paradise
the split second between the launch and her taking the melon in the face is possibly my favourite moment in time, ever.
through osmosis, she now is capable of harnessing the power of a full grown woman…and a watermelon
what a hard head
FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE…… it is just a water baloon with red water. Look at the slow motion. The object is the size of a tennis ball and explodes on impact. Watermellons are hard and would have broken into large parts. AND taken her head off.
This is an obvious fake. The elastic couldn’t go back further than it started; it would defy Hook’s law. Sorry to be the nerd to break it to you
Scratch that; just watched a clearer version . . .
so you get physics of the elastic, but you dont think that watermellon could have seriously screw up her face??? FAKE FAKE!!
Yo the best part is they made her keep trying after she got hit in the face!
great, second time on failblog and before that both myfoodlooksfunny and seniorgif.
HAHAHAHAHA.. the best part is the end of the full video, where she says she can’t feel her face and that she has the worst headache ever, and “What do we do now?” And her partner (I assume; never seen the show) says “Well, you have to finish” and watermelon-head is like “OH NOES!”
OUCH but so nice!
lol, I know you just got hit in the head and I’m happy for, but you still gotta finish even though you cant feel your face.
melon 1-0 stupid woman
That is so dangerous. I hope that poor girl is fine.
Who knows????????
Now that’s a HEADSHOT!!!
lol i dont beleive this it’s funny and fake. she would not have survive getting a watermelon smashed into her head with a 150 KM/h
How in the (Do you happen to know the Swahili word for “universe”?) did you know how fast it was going????????????????
Am I the only one who thought of JFK when I saw this?
EPIC BOOM HEADSHOT WIN!
That had to hurt. Got her daily fill of watermelon though.
Lunch win?
Is anyone else reminded of the Zapruder film?
it was a bonus shot with a taste of watermelon! Weeeeeeeeeeee!
lolol, watched this like a million times…
melowned
uch!!! lol lol… but this is very nice
This reminds me of the mythbusters ‘Border slingshot’ episode, adam described the first launch of their goalpost slingshot as “The scariest thing I have ever done on this show!”
Sorry, I don’t watch Mythbusters. I did, however, see the episode with the exploding birds; and it was AAAAAAAAAAAAA WWWWWWWWWWWW EEEEEEEEEEE SSSSSSSSSSS OOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM EEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could watch this for hours it made the rest of my weekend!!
Oh my god I am listening to Flying Overseas by Theophilus London right now and it has the exact same beat as this gif!!
Beat-Melon. Beat-melon. Beat-Melon. Beat-melon..
Hahaha I’ve got it playing now. LOL.
In mine, she’s getting melonned right on the beat.
Stretch-melon. Stretch-melon. Stretch-melon. Stretch-melon.
Ha ha, I saw that episode of Amazing Race!
I can’t stop laughing every time I see this.
I love the way it goes all like “Show that knight whos boss!” *Slam*
Pow! Right in the mushkie! Life is good, huh? :=)
BOOM! HEADSHOT
