MRE, Water, and HDR supplies are now designed to be rolled off the back of a C17, C130, or large helo and break into small 1 foot long card board boxes.

So (1) do such things naturally disperse as they fall, and (2) is their terminal velocity and construction such as to limit personal injury if they hit?

Whoa. Still thinking too heavy.

The TRIAD breaks open and the MRE/WATER/HDR's packages 'float' to the ground and weigh about 40 oz. This permits WIDE distribution of food and prevents clustering of people 'rioting' for a traditional single air dropped pallet.

Mark my words. This will come up in the future.
