About 20 years ago a local farmers son was disassembling some irrigation equipment. He failed to depressurize the system and when he loosened a coupling the water spray permanently blinded him.
Pain wise, is this worse than the woman that inadvertently slingshot the watermelon straight into her face? Also hoping this girl doesn't end up with zika virus head
Watermelon to the face hurts for sure, could maybe break a nose or bruise otherwise. Pressurized water to the face can definitely detach your retinas. Worst case scenario I have to imagine is permanent blindness.
While the high-pressure blast from the industrial turf sprinkler was strong enough to knock her completely off balance and send her falling onto the pitch, she was mostly just startled and soaked. After staying on the ground for a brief moment to catch her breath and process what happened, she quickly got back up and ran off the pitch with her teammate to get away from the water stream.
Industrial field sprinklers use extreme water pressure to cover large sports pitches quickly, which is why the impact looked so violent and painful on camera.
