If you take an egg, seal it in water inside a can, drop it from 100FT, nothing will break. If you put me inside a sealed tank, fill it with perfluorocarbon , accelerate against a wall at 100 mph. I still die. my brain went through the deceleration inside my skull. None of my bones would be shattered though. When you drive a 2 sec car or catapulted from an aircraft carrier, your body can still feel that "something" isn't quite right inside your skull even though you don't have any nerves there.
