The odds of that actually working is so astronomical it's funny. I think Mythbusters addressed that.

Ya I saw that on myth busters too I belived they proved that jumping before impact is a totally useless gesture LOL Thanks for the tips Root keep it up. Its not the fall that kills you it is the sudden stop <Grin> Every day above ground is a good day! It turns out the grass really is greener on this side !!!

I want to meet the guy who could, in a free-falling elevator, time his jump to precisely coincide with the cab bottoming out.

The physics of lying flat on the floor makes sense, however if Miss Fiji Islands- who would dress out at a svelte 250 pounds- should happen to land on your back...

I dunno, but I suspect that if one knew of all of the redundancy in elevator safety devices, he'd not give it much thought.
