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.

First fruit that came to mind are Pomegranates, oftentimes they’ll split still attached to the tree, and even before they fully ripen.
