Very much so. Joe Kittinger went as fast as 714MPH when he jumped from a balloon at an altitude of 102,800ft in 1960. By the time his parachute was deployed he would have been closer to 120MPH. This was meant to answer a different question about atmosphere and speed. My mistake. :(
make a big parachute
Styrofoam.
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)
The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.

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!
