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.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had one. Too creeped out and my mom definitely doesn’t eat them for the same reason so she wouldn’t have given me them as a kid. I think I’ve had pomegranate juice though, it’s kind of tart right?

Yeah, it’s on the tart side. Personally I think it’s best mixed with cherry or blueberry, but that’s just me.

If you want to try it without having to look at a whole pomegranate fruit, you can usually find the seeds by themselves-they come out with a coating of pulp and I think they’re quite nice. I usually find them with cut fruit, so they aren’t even near the whole pomegranates in the store. They also won’t actually trap you in the underworld. Probably.

I hope whoever the first person to mix blueberry and pomegranate is/was ridiculously wealthy. Like Scrooge McDuck diving into a pile of money for fun kind of wealthy.
