Do you know any shock absorbing material on which if a egg falls from 12m height it will not break?

Do you know any shock absorbing material on which if a egg falls from 12m height it will not break?
Open cell polyurethane foam works nicely, i used to work for a company that made high jump and pole vault landing pits, and the company owners grandson did a very sinilar experiment for a science class. We dropped the egg from 10' up to 90' off of a silo, and didn't break a single egg. The secret is to layer the foam, putting the softest (more forgiving) foam on top, in 4" thick layers, and using progressively denser foam as the layers go down. This properly decelerates the egg, and or the pole vaulter as thry/it is driven into the landing surface. We used a standard collegiate pole vault landing pit that was 32" deep for this experiment.

Reply:At my high school we used to have a competition of who could build the best basket for an egg to be dropped in, and we were only allowed to use straws. I've seen it work, and think that it because of the flexability of the plastic straws and the air space in the middle. Also the round shape allows the straws to flatten and absorb the shock of the fall.
Reply:Water. Lot's of water. If space is an issue, use a water tube.
