If you’re in an elevator that is falling, could you jump right before and not get injured?

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?

You would have to jump with a force that would accelerate you upwards to the same velocity as the elevator…..which is impossible. The g-force would then probably turn you to jam instead of the impact. Its all about conservation of energy really.
