THANKS FOR ALL THE FAVES, COMMENTS, AND THE FRONT PAGE!!!

The same event, but from the 2000fps camera POV. I selected and edited together these frames myself, but if I were to post every frame, you'd be able to see every single millimetre of the crossbows journey.

That home camera you have that you thought had a "fast shutter speed" doesn't seem so fast now, does it? XD

See this link >> [link] << to look at how the balloons were set up.

We filled four balloons with a similar amount of water and hung them from custom-built scaffolding so they hung equally. We then shot them from close range using a small crossbow (shot by a licensed Pro. Please don't try this yourself, as owning and firing a crossbow in this country is illegal without a license).

We recorded the balloons, and also the boxes behind the balloons where the crossbow bolt eventually hit. I don't have the footage available, but an interesting thing to see was that when the bolt hit the compressed card and wood surface, a small ring of water exploded off it; remenants of what clung to the shaft from it's journey through the balloons!

Anyways, with the naked eye, you cannot see how water retains its shape for the brief moments before it breaks. As a liquid, the molecules of water do have a weak bond between one another which are easily broken. For a few brief miliseconds, with the use of camera technology, you can see the water still holding those bonds and retaining the shape of the now absent balloon.

I'm almost afraid to ask how much money a camera like that would cost someone... XD
That is fucking wild, how the water retains the shape while the plastic is gone before gravity does it's job.
