– Would I survive if I jumped off a collapsing building right before it hit the ground?

Question

Curious as to what would happen if I perfectly time it. Would I be safe? Lets say the building is 4 stories high

That really depends on how the building collapses. If the floor below you breaks apart and you slip between the cracks as the building comes down, you’re pretty much screwed. If the building collapses [from the bottom up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou_TCoNo9ZA), however, then you’ve got a chance.
