Link of the day: Video of water balloon striking at 1000 fps

Check out this footage of a water balloon hitting a guy at 1000 frames per second. While we don’t know which camera this was shot with, that does happen to be the top filming speed of Casio’s newest high-speed camera.

Good to know that consumer cameras like the Casio EXILIM EX-FH20 have advanced enough to allow us to do these kinds of things at home. The applications are nearly limitless for this newly accessible technology: Half-empty soda bottles, whole sacks of tomatoes or entire bowls of cereal are just a few other things on an enormous list of items you could throw at your friends’ faces while filming at 1000 fps.

Click here or on the image below to check out the footage.

Enjoy!
