– 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

Wouldn’t your jump push the rubble underneath you towards the ground just a bit quicker, cancelling out your jump, so you’d basically achieve nothing?

But that’s another thing right? Rubble? A building does not fall in one piece.

Your fragile meat body is caught up in a tumbling maelstrom of rock and steel and glass until the fatal blow is dealt – either by the dance you’re all caught up in or by the foundations you’re racing towards.
