RE: Myth or Fact? #15 - Survive a falling elevator by jumping up as it hits the floor

Won't affect mortality rate, but...I think if you're already standing on the floor of the 'vator you could at least push off the floor. Since the elevator has more mass and you're both going the same speed you'd get a little less VIG (velocity into ground). Still deader than fried chicken. :)
