So if you time it perfectly, the elevator would hit the floor but since you were in the air, you don’t feel the pressure of the landing. And then you wouldn’t get injured, right?
In: Physics
If you can jump with enough force to match the speed of the falling elevator, yes.
That does mean, though, that your legs would have to accelerate you at the same speed that they’d have to absorb in the crash, which only means that you’d kill yourself rather than wait for the impact to do it…
