Hmmm, reminds me of the story about the guy in an elevator when the cable broke and the elevator plummeted 10 stories hitting the bottom of the shaft and shattering the elevator.  The guy in the elevator watched the numbers above the door as he made his wild decent. When number 2 lit up, he jumped up into the air, thinking that he wouldn't be hurt because he'd be "suspended" between the floor and ceiling of the elevator and would not get hurt. One guess as to what happened!

Then there was the guy who drove his Corvette up a ramp that was hanging down from the open doors of an 18 wheeler, while thetruck was doing 70 MPH and the Corvette was doing slightly more.  One guess as to what happened.

Lastly,  there was the guy who jumped out of the back of a pickup truck that was going 30 MPH.  When he landed on his feet, did he, 1. Fall forward?  2. Fall backward, 3. Or did he just land upright and walk away.  

Before I forget, the guys in the elevator, the Corvette and the Pickup truck all had their waders on and fly rod and reel in hand.  Got to make it fishing related!  LOL

Instead of a "solid" layer of jello poured in before it sets up,  allow the jello to set up in a shallow pan, then cut it into little cubes, like small dice.  Pour the jello dice into the tube instead of solid jello.  When the little cubes become compressed by the sudden weight of the egg, they will have some room ( the spaces between the dice) to compress.  Solid jello will have no room to compress.  This is my own theory, and I am sticking with it.

A quick note about physics   IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW HEAVY THE CONTAINER
IS!!!  It will always drop at the same speed and it is not the drop
speed that breaks the egg it is the rate of deceleration that the egg
experiences.  Thus all the compressable material under the egg to slow
the deceleration and keep the egg intact.

And you have to control the aerodynamics of the container if you want to
assure that a specific area hits the ground first.  I think the jello idea
is brilliant.  I wonder if using another liquid like water or oil in a tube
would work as well and be easier to use instead of trying to cut a hole down
the length of the jello plug.
