– 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

Unless you are talking about you would survive anyway other then being burried by rubble and the jumping is about getting away from the rubble, no it doesnt realy make a diffrence. Its the same thing as jumping in a free falling elevator befor it hits the ground. While you are jumping you are still falling down it might not look like you do because the elevator/building is further away but relative to the ground you are still falling the whole time and are still accelerating the whole time.
