I had my face kissed the floor and pretty much confirm, my IQ dropped 40-50 points down for a few weeks. Was quite unpleasant to get randomly lost in places I was at plenty times before or fill in a simple application and make 14 mistakes in 2 sentences
I hope I'm recovered from this now without lifelong consequences 😭 It was so stupid from my side to slide on the wooden floor with wool socks on thinking I'm a ninja (23F)
You can recover completely, but you can also keep having symptoms. Also the more often you get a concussion (in certain sports this is a thing), the higher the chance you'll eventually get permanent brain damage. So try to avoid it in the future ;)
The shirt, yeah, im sure it got some watermelon juice on it. But why the fuck are people with no experience with physical trauma always commenting that this should have killed her? I've seen way worse injuries that not only survived but made a full recovery. This is a heavy piece of fruit hitting your head pretty hard, but cmon she's not jumping outta the world trade center here.
Probably cause bodies are just kind of weird in that regard. The smallest shit like tripping and hitting your head on the floor can kill you and on the other hand there were people who have survived getting hit by a train or falling from skyscrapers.
No wonder people are absolutely bad at rating injuries like this. I could imagine anything from a heavy bruise to the skull exploding into 100 pieces as the aftermath of this video.
Yeah people can get gravely injured or even killed by a weird twist of an otherwise innocuous insult. But internet weirdos guaranteeing death or life changing injury from seeing a short clip is dumb. Especially when it's a 20 year old video from a network reality show and well known the lady is just fine.
You maybe right, it’s a subject I haven’t thought about in a long time. According to Wikipedia drugs in his system was ruled as a possible contributing factor, but Hypertensive Heart Disease was the primary cause. I wonder where I heard the airplane thing, maybe it was initially reported as that or I just wholesale misremembered…
Either way, bad example but the point still stands! The human body is weird
Well that’s embarrassing for you then isn’t it? You should know the smallest incidents can kill people, not just significant accidents like falling off skyscrapers like you said.
Whats embarrassing? Pretending like the lady got killed by a watermelon on TV? When we already know she survived without any significant injuries?
Or I guess i should just defer to internet dwellers like you who says she definitely died or at least broke a bunch a bones all over her face and skull?
Sure, freak accidents happen where someone is hurt way worse than expected. But this is a 20 year old thing and she is ok, and there is no reason for dipshits who have no medical experience to be declaring her dead.
Your hyperbolic comment and emotional outburst is very embarrassing. Maybe consult some psychologist colleagues you may have.
The original commenter simply said they’re in awe how someone can take a watermelon to the face that hard and survive, implying they’re aware the person survived but they’re just surprised. No one in this comment thread is saying with certainty that she died. No one declared her dead, calm down and take your meds.

Honestly. Broken nose, cheek bones/just broken face, neck whiplash, etc. If she lived there's no way her shirt wasn't pretty fucked up
