Could a fruit dropped from high enough kill?

r/

Recently remembered some memories from when I was a little shite, one time we lobbed a bunch of fruits from the window at the 9th floor. Even a watermelon. Random shit. I won’t lie, it was extremely funny at the time, but thinking back as an adult, could we have killed someone? Luckily we hit no one, we weren’t trying to hit people, just get near enough to freak em out (lovely we were, I know, I know).

Yeah, we sucked. Any idea the kind of injuries high speed fruit could cause?

    Yes you could’ve killed someone. A watermelon from 80-100 feet (9th floor) would’ve absolutely killed someone

    Your fruit would turn someone into a vegetable.

    When time when I was eight or something, I threw an apple out of a window in New York City my parents had never been so mad at me and have to this day. Never been that mad at me. They said I could’ve killed somebody. And traumatized me. 😂 but yes, you could kill someone by dropping fruit out of the window. I think there’s a study done that says if you dropped a penny from the empire State building it would shoot right through the body of a person like a bullet

    have you seen durian? drop it from 10 metres or so, and pretty sure it could kill

    Coconuts have been known to randomly drop and land on people’s heads and kill them. It’s terrifying.

    they commonly have signs around trees that grow heavy/hard fruit warning passersby that they could drop. durian, coconuts, jackfruit etc could do some major damage if dropped from high enough, they’ve also killed people

    A good big ripe mango falling from the tree could kill easily. I saw one drop on the windshield of a car and break it. It probably would break skull, cause concussion, or something else.

    Some people harvest Durian from trees by throwing them down and the catcher wears really thick gloves. Imagine if it misses.

    watermelons are literally used in military impact tests because of their similarity to a human head.
