so if your on a free falling elevator and jump just before you hit, you will be OK?

lol, I hear that if you find yourself in a free falling elevator the thing to do is lie down. I guess so your spine etc is better positioned to withstand the impact.

I think our spine was designed to resist vertical compression, like the constant pull of gravity, so I don’t see how that would work.
