make a big parachute
your legs
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
It depends on how far the egg has to drop. In High School we had to do 1 story, about 10 feet drop with only 1 sheet of 8x10 paper. The most successful projects involved a combination of an airfoil design parachute with some crumbled up paper under the egg to act as a cushion.

Add a parachute and something soft under it
To make a good egg drop contest parachute, you will need a lightweight material like a plastic bag or tissue paper, strings or yarn for suspension lines, and a small cup or basket to hold the egg. Cut the material into a large square, attach the suspension lines to the corners and secure them to the cup or basket. Test your parachute from different heights to see how it performs and make adjustments as needed.
Make the parachute wider/bigger or make the parachute deeper. Make the thing pulling it down lighter. Hope this helps. =)
Use nothing
How about use a plastic cup drill holes on both sides use a string put through the holes tie the ends to a plastic bag and, voila, a parachute for the egg.More Information:The parachute must be big enough and of appropriate material to slow the fall of the egg and the parachute. Also, a nice soft field might be a better landing zone than a paved parking lot. Some trial and error experimentation will probably be necessary to get the right chute area to weight ratio. Don't start with the egg.
Place the egg in a bottle filled with water and attach a parachute.
A raw egg (ApexLearning)
I have done this experiment in the past- I created a parachute! 1.The basket of the parachute was made of approx. 12 layers of thick bubble wrap with a cardboard door to keep the egg in. 2.The Parachute was made with a double reinforced thin plastic (a plastic tablecloth will do) It should survive, good luck!
The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.

You would have to account for all the places that might hit the egg and all the forces that act on it. You should have a parachute-like structure to create drag/air resistance to slow its fall. You should make the bottom of the container that holds the egg soft (eg. with a sponge). You should cover the container with a soft material such that if it were to rotate upside-down, it would fall on something soft. Make sure the egg is not moving freely in the container. Put fillings (eg. Bubble Wrap) around the egg such that it does not move freely when it falls and hits the ground. It should be very similar to the boxes that come when you buy electronics, except for the fact that it would be smaller and would have a parachute. Good Luck.
