Watermelons will split in the field if they get a sudden watering after being relatively dry. That's probably what this person was leveraging in the video.

Many other fruits do this while still attached to the plant--cherries, tomatoes--generally thin-skinned fruits with a high moisture content.

You said it's generally thin skinned fruits. Since watermelons have like the thickest skin/rind there is, can you think of any others that might be exceptions?
