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 the elevator started falling from any more than a single story high, no. The speed the elevator is falling is far too high to overcome with your jump. For example, if you would normally hit at 40 MPH and countered with a 3 MPH jump, you’re still smacking into the ground at 37 MPH which will not end well for you.
