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?

Mythbusters tested this in one of their early episodes. The crash test dummy they used got absolutely destroyed I seem to remember. I’m sure you can find the episode somewhere online

Edit: it’s ep 17
