If you were in an elevator and it started to fall...

[sillymofo]

I would just do what they do in cartoons.

First Id grab the best lookin chick on board if there was one then I think Id yell A LOT and (Warning, Danger Will Robinson) wet myself or the people around me.

Every bone in your body may shatter, but you have a better chance of living that way.

Hmmm....think I'd rather try to land HEAD first...quick, painful death sounds A LOT better than breaking every bone in your body...

I think I'd try to jump at the last possible second, thereby avoiding certain death.

So you'd grab the best looking girl and proceed to pee on her? :Q Kinky.

So what are all you people that are either grabbing women or stripping doing to do when the brakes kick in and you don't die?

 

[Anubis]

knock out someone else whoes in there and lie on them

Everyone will start to grab and pee on them.

Joy. This has turned into a pee fetish thread.

Back on topic for a sec... even if you jumped RIGHT before the elevator hit the ground, wouldn't you still splat? I mean... you'd be falling at the same rate of the elevator, so when the elevator stops, you'd keep falling at the same velocity, right?

Ugh. There's a reason why I dropped out of AP Physics my senior year of HS...

Yep, you would still be going as fast as the elevator = big splat.

yes, duh

plus how the hell would u know when the elevator is going to hit the bottom? and dont all elevators have big shock absorbers at the bottom? so even if it somehow managed to brake off the cable, and break about 200 catches to stop it from falling on the way down, it would just bounce a little at the bottom. probably would still cause you some damage but probably not death.

 

[abracadabra1]

probably fall with it...

no, you would slow your decent by a smidgen. You would still be a gelatenous mess that would have to be cleaned up with a shovel.

I don't think I'd remember that if I was freefalling, but... it's good to know, just in case.

No offense but this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Skydiving and your chute doesn't open? You're dead. End of story. No matter what position you are in when you hit the ground...you are dead. It is a certainty.

With an elevator it would depend on how far it falls before hitting the bottom. More than a couple floors and you would probably be dead also but laying on the floor might be your best bet. Climbing out the top wouldn't change anything and you wouldn't have time to do it anyway.

I'd put my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye.

Jumping's a no go. You'd still have been accelerated at -9.8m/s^2, so jumping at the last instant and supplying that tad bit of force will do no good. Overall, you'll still be falling down very very fast, and you're gonna splat as badly as if you didn't jump

With that in mind, I'd pay my respects and hug the person next to me like no other....last embrace you're ever gonna share with someone.
