A few days ago, my brother sent me an email with a slow-motion movie of a water balloon being popped in zero gravity. This led me to searching for all sorts of slow-motion water balloon movies, which I have now collected here.
I hope you enjoy them…

I really like how the balloon itself peels away and sprays a thin layer of water due to the surface tension. The entire mass of water then slowly begins to fall under its weight.
