    The pumpkin boat looked more like a round kayak to me. http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2013/oct/25/pumpkin-boat-isle-wight-world-record-video

    The greatest height from which fresh eggs have been dropped (to earth) and remained intact is 213 m (700 ft), by David Donoghue from a helicopter on 22 August 1994 onto a golf course at Blackpool, Lancashire, UK.

    I’ll bet that was rough.
