if a fresh egg didnt break in that fall, then i hope some jackass would try to jump from a building to that sheet of gel.

nothing to be scared of even a fragile egg doesnt break.

My guess is that this is more a demonstration of the robustness of an eggshell than of a wonder material. The mat looks about 1cm thick, so the egg will undergo a huge deceleration over that distance, regardless of what material the mat is made out of. The mat, presumably, deforms to apply a braking force evenly across the lower part of the eggshell, rather than concentrated in one small region.
A human dropped form a similar height onto the mat would experience a similarly large deceleration, and would cease to be a living entity.

[...] newVideoPlayer(”egggeldrop_gawker.flv”, 475, 376); Geltec Corporation has been working on its shock-absorbing gel, and now has improved upon its Alpha Gel with this Beta Gel, shown here protecting an egg from its untimely demise as it plummets from a dizzying height of just over 72 feet. Remarkable. It just seems to defy the laws of physics. We want some of this stuff installed in our walking shoes for the next trade show. We also got quite a kick out of the frantic enthusiasm of these Japanese TV personalities. [Japan Probe] [...]

[...] Wow. Seriously, this video is boring for the first 20 or 30 seconds, then you’re like, huh that’s crazy, and then the guy picks up the egg and starts throwing it down on the gel mat and your mind is blown. Blown. It’s a short video, so really there’s no reason you shouldn’t watch it. (via the japanprobe). [...]

In elementary school in IOWA we had a yearly contest called the great egg drop. We would have a few days to build a contraption out of random materials that would would carry an egg from a fall off the top of the school without breaking it.

In our case, the contraption had to enclose the egg… But hey, put this stuff in a shoebox with the egg in it and you’ve got a winner!

Quick. Mail the stuff to Iowa. And we’ll start placing bets on the school kids!

I almost wonder if I’ll be okay if I were to be dropped on that BETA Gel. It probably might have to be thicker…but then again even the egg was nicely intact. AHHgh this curiosity will kill me someday.
