How do you drop an egg from high up without it breaking?

My daughter is doing an Egg Drop Challenge in school and we need ideas.The eggs are going to be dropped from the grandstand roof. I think some people are making parachutes but I'm not sure that is very reliable.

If you soak an egg in vinegar the eggshell will absorb the acid and break down, or dissolve. The calcium carbonate will become carbon dioxide gas, which will go into the air. What is left is the soft tissue that lined the inside of the eggshell. It will bounce!
