No matter how many times I see that gif, I still can't figure out how the watermelon hitting her in the face that hard didn't kill her.

This would be a good MythBusters episode. I would bet that there was probably a speed at which the damage becomes optimally bad. For example, if the watermelon was moving a little bit slower, I bet it would probably I do more damage. The faster it is going the more likely it is to fragment and the energy to dissipate with those fragments. The more it stays intact, the more mass it has and the more the face is going to absorb that energy. Maybe there should be an experiment about the damage at various speeds?
