Engineering: Inertial Dampening

 ''What happens to an egg dropped off of a roof? It breaks! What can we do to stop that from happening, other than not dropping it? We can build a container that protects the egg, that absorbs the energy that will break the egg, so the egg will be safe!''

'''-Capt. Don'''
