PKN TV: Playing chicken with a plummeting egg-in-a-box

4 July 2013

Food safety, security and protection specialist, Sealed Air, has taken the ultimate leap of faith in the integrity of its packaging products – by using them to protect an egg dropped to the ground by a skydiver over a military airfield in the UK.

Part of a series of “Will It Break” videos by the company, the egg stunt sees the company's “Professor Packaging” turn up at the airfield only to be told he is to take to the skies with an egg in tow.

Then, with the egg wrapped in the company's NewAir IB inflatable cushioning then placed in a cardboard box, he is told to parachute from the aircraft, and release the boxed egg from a height of 150 metres.

Does the egg survive? Watch the video below to check on the result.
