Related: About this forumWatermelon Survives 45m Drop Test!!
Ever wondered how to ensure a watermelon doesn't break into a million pieces while dropping it from a tower that's 45 metres (147 feet) high? This might be the solution for you.
The good people from experiment-loving, Australian YouTube group "How Ridiculous" have put together a video in which they coat a watermelon with the super-strong protective spray called Line-X, to see if it would be able to survive after a big fall.
It does. It even bounces like a bouncy ball! But the inside of the fruit tells a different story.
