But then you'd have to place a warning sign: Warning, this product may contain peanuts. Of course the allergy itself is no joking matter.
If horn cases were made of softer foam, the horn would be better protected, but you'd have to replace the case after a drop. In the course of commuting to work for several years, I have replaced my bicycle helmet several times. Cheaper than heads.

The problem was to design a case or package to have a hen egg dropped from third story window to the side walk below without damage to the egg. Two students solved the problem. Perhaps instead off getting an engineer to do the job, give the job to high school students to protect the horn. Just a thought. *********** I used to sponsor Physics Olympics at San Jose State. Students from local high schools would compete in various events. One involved encasing a raw egg so that it would be undamaged after falling 15 meters. Parachutes were not allowed. Generally, about half the entries were successful, so we awarded prizes to the smallest, lightest containers. One year a successful entrant dropped their egg inside a jar of peanut butter. I think that would be the ideal way to protect a horn. Gotta go, Cabbage ************** Great Deals on Dell Laptops. Starting at $499.
