You’ve probably wondered what it would look if a giant pumpkin were dropped 100 feet into the pool.
Footage from the annual Bauman Harvest Festival in Gervais, Oregon, shows a 1,200lb pumpkin smashing into huge chunks as it hits the water after being winched up in the air on a crane.
The Giant Pumpkin Drop is one of the many pumpkin-themed activities at the festival, which takes place every year from the end September to the end October.

As the rope is released the gourd bounces off a swimming pool, soaking the ground in water and ball pool balls.
Oregon harvest festival takes place every year. It features pumpkins in all sizes and shapes.
The festival organizers used the 1,200lb gourd this year because it had developed an opening while it was growing and had begun to rot. This ruled it out of the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off.
Instead, it made a spectacular and messy exit.
The gourd bounces off of the swimming pool as the rope is released. This showers the ground with water, and ball pool balls.
After the Pumpkin Drop, the giant pumpkins weighing over 1,000lbs will be displayed at the festival.
The biggest squash was 2,030lb. The largest field pumpkin was 151.5lb.
