The Humpty Challenge

The Humpty Challenge, is an activity to demonstrate how fragile the human brain is that has 2 variations:

Either throwing of an egg into the air and attempting to catch it intact, or throw the egg in the air and letting it strike your forehead and smashing. The first variation shows that the egg must be gently slowed to avoid damage, the same way your brain will be damaged by stopping too quickly. The second variation demonstrates how easily the egg is broken by impact, similar to the damage to your brain during a collision!
