Watching these - and I have watched a few of them, not just drop tests but hydraulic press/waterjet cutter/etc. - my initial reaction is always “Remember the good old days, when we used to try to protect an egg from a drop?”
But then I realize that there are, no doubt, millions of people in the world who would see all the eggs we used to break in those contests as a horrible waste of desperately-needed food. And I realize that the best I can say about my own morality is that I draw the line closer to a 25-cent egg than to a $500 smartphone.
