One of the racing shoe manufacturers (Nike, etc.) research
departments came up with a wonderful rubbery substance that
absorbs shock by redirecting it laterally.  I saw this
demonstrated on one of the TV talk shows a year or two ago.
It looks like just the thing for your egg-dropping experiment
(a parachute would help, too).  Unfortunately I can't remember
the name of the product or where to find it; perhaps someone
else on the net knows.
