<p dir="ltr">My son used a sliding tube within a tube with rubber bands and a rubber balloon sheet as a cradle. Tube had fins to make it stable for the drop. They did 3 drops. The last drop another team member insisted to drop it and did a bad release and it fell sideways. :-(</p>

<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>Ok, my son is doing the egg drop in high school physics. He has a good plan but is limited by a 100gram weight limit. He's thought of using whipped cream (frozen with dry-ice before drop) to act as a shock absorber. I'm concerned with it breaking down and just becoming slush while he waits. Anyone have any good suggestions?<div>
