You should try shooting at water, with projectiles both skipping on top, and being fired straight down into it.
I'll have to make a proper casing before taking the camera anywhere near liquids, I might be getting some help with that :)

Here's a couple more, 4 3.5" floppies from the side shot with my HW97K:

EDIT: I seemed to have passed 900 posts and didn't even realize it at the time. Oh well, I'll be ready for 1000.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Ok, I held out as long as I could so now I'm posting on here :D .
Here is a video of some fireworks from this past New Year's Eve. It's shot at a relatively slow 210FPS.

Are fireworks legal on the forum? You may want to check that out, bro. Ballin video. It needs some tunes though. Maybe something Sousa-ish?

Are you thinking the whole enclosure be watertight? How will you work the camera? Does it have remote control?

The only controls you need is starting/stopping the filming, all other settings can be made before the camera is enclosed, a single splashproof button shouldn't be too hard to make.

I obtained a 500W halogen lamp, plus I'm taking advantage of the weekend to film in direct sunlight :)

You might want to have another button for the shutter, so you can focus when in the enclosure, as the enclosure may affect the focal point. As you've probably realized, the movie record button alone doesn't cause the camera to focus.

What I was picturing in my head has a top hatch that would allow the shutter to be accessed before sealing it up.
