Watermelon Survives 45m Drop Test!!

[left-of-center2012]

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.

1. That's a rather thick coating!! It's like that stuff they put on the screen door and then

put in the bottom of the everglades boat....but much thicker!
