Mythbusters actually debunked the myth that you can jump at the right time and survive a falling elevator. Short clip for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/xmloyCC7MOY?si=DbmDkS4w1hyQ3OcZ

Where’s the Mythbusters clip debunking the myth that a (first-world) elevator is even capable of falling?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Yup. The best strategy is to lie down and spread out, with your hands under your head. The bigger the contact area between your body and the floor, the better. But good luck doing that while falling.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
