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?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Maybe think of it like that if you where to jump out of a flying plane and while you’re falling someone would construct an elevator around you, do you think that would in any way change the fact that you’re falling and thus building up some pretty high velocity that is suddenly changed to 0 once you hit the ground?
