Fragile cargo at least. For some otherwise fragile things, you could submerge them in an incompressible fluid of similar density to reduce the difference in force throughout them. Your brain's tissue is very soft, yet by being buoyant in its cerebrospinal fluid it becomes capable of withstanding much higher acceleration.
