If you lie on the floor, a larger fall is survivable, since the blow is absorbed more evenly through the body.
Fotunately, the only times elevators plunged to the bottom were when planes struck them. Other than that, it's never happened since Otis's Safety Elevator (1854).
(ThyssenKrupp's ISIS models did have all cables fail on multiple lifts, but the on-cab braking systems stopped those.)

No the test demonstrates the physics principles behind the 'elevator jump' misconception perfectly. You see, if you were to jump just before the elevator landed, you would only be changing your momentum relative to the elevator... Your momentum relative to the ground stays almost the same. Also, according to newton's third law the earth will still exert a large force back up on you, to match the force of gravity both you and the elevator have when you land... Either way, splat.
