Water balloon slow motion

The first part of this post has some slow motion animals, but the best part is at about :45 where a water balloon is popped and the water retains the shape of the balloon momentarily.

Notice how the guy closes his eyes when the balloon is popped!

Here's a fun one where they were popping water balloons in 0 gravity.

the slow motion thing is very cool gdanea. the zero gravity one is also neat js. i like the way the water holds the shape from the balloon.
