Running into a jello cube
This is a silly question. For an 8 by 8 by 8 foot cube of jello to stand up under its own weight, it would have to have much higher surface tension than regular jello. So, you’d bounce off.

Oh, yes. THAT’s why it’s a silly question.Report
The possibility I favor is the jello bomb scenario. In this case the jello, despite its great surface tension, would be so near breaking that anyone who got a running start would, upon impact, find themselves in the middle of a gigantic jello explosion.Report
I’ve always wondered if you couldn’t fill a pool with jello mix before a freeze and get that to work. Never had the money. I did once make a ball of silly putty about the size of a television set- another long-planned project- and indeed it would not bounce because it was too heavy.Report
