It is not the speed that breaks the egg. Rather, it is the force exerted on the egg due to acceleration when the egg hits some other object. An egg will break at a very low acceleration.

What causes the egg to split?

Gravity is what makes an egg break when dropped from a certain height because when you drop the egg gravity is what makes the egg increase its speed (acceleration) after the egg has reached a terminal velocity (stays the same speed while air born) it is stopped by the ground in less than a second. the energy that was gained because of mass and velocity is adsorb by the ground from the egg which instantly breaks the egg shell. to keep the egg from breaking you could put a protective package around it which would lessen the impact of the egg shell. the energy would be adsorb from something else, which would save the egg.
