Summer Watermelon

Why do Japanese people smash watermelon during the summer?

Like with a baseball bat they’ll smash a watermelon, then eat it. Wouldn’t it be better (cleaner) to just cut it? O_o
Oh no. I should have looked at the category it gave me before I finished asking the question. Putting a question in Culture & Groups is just asking for mean racist comments.

It’s a traditional game called suikawari.
