How can a car safety system be used to protect an egg being dropped from a height?

The air bags could cushion it. You could use magnetostrictive sensing to check and see that the egg was still whole, seat belts wrapped around it to help dull the impact (or use seat belts to lower it from the height), and have it trigger an air bag on its way down, so the bad is already inflated and beginning to deflate once the egg hits it (so the force from the air bag doesn't break it).|||Are you talking about the car as a whole or just the air bag? If it were just the air bag,you could set it on the ground and time it so it inflates,reaches max inflation and starts to deflate before the egg lands, allowing for a cusioned landing. If you inflated it to the max at the same time the egg landed,the bag would be too stiff, causing the egg to break
