Have someone 30 feet below you catch it safely.
Drop it 30 feet into water.
Drop it 30 feet onto a shock-absorbant surface (matresses, foam, etc.).
Drop it 30 feet after covering it with a shock-absorbant material (lots of bubble-wrap, layers of soft foam/spongy material, etc.).
Attach enough helium balloons to it to almost float it in the air, so the impact of the much slower 30-foot drop won't break it. A parachute attached to the pumpkin would accomplish the same thing.
If the pumpkin sinks in water, drop it 30 feet in a body of water (lake, deep pool, etc.), so it won't break when it reaches the bottom.
Go to a small planet or moon where there is so much less gravity that the impact won't be sufficient to break it, or a large gaseous planet with no solid surface. (Use your imagination for other trickier solutions.)
