Can You SURVIVE An Elevator Fall By Jumping? #DEBUNKED

Find out the best way to survive a 150 meter elevator fall, and at the same time learn about gravitational acceleration and understand Newton’s Laws. Your monthly dose of hypothetical physics scenarios is here, and today we’re dropping Stu, several times, from the top of skyscraper.

We hope you like it, let us know what you think...

How tf u supposed to know when to jump

[ronzz]

Look man, fine I'll take the stairs.

[Nishka]

Get to the fricking point man im about to hit the floor in 3 secs

[lj]

27 deaths per year ? Oh you know, with the luck I have...

[whatdoesthefoxsay]

Video was too long. I tried watching this in a falling elevator to find out if i could live. Was still watching when the elevator hit the ground. Writing this as a ghost now.

[ShawnyandWyatt]

with my luck i’d jump and land right as it hit the bottom to *triple the impact*

[kirill]

When you have only 6.1 seconds to Google what to do but the video is 11 minutes long

[shart]

If only newton didn't invent those damm laws

[student]

The answer is "No. You can not survive an elevator fall by jumping."

[beanbag_boy]

I’ll save you time time, The answer is No

[uwu_cuteanimegirl_uwu]

This is why I always bring a bucket of water

[franciscobarbosa]

OK YOUTUBE, I'VE WATCHED IT. YOU HAPPY?

[digitalfootballer]

The thing is, how would you know when it's time to jump?

[shravan]

“Elevators causing only 27 deaths per year “
Those 27 people : “are we a joke”

[jady]

So you’re telling me a whole 30% of my body is working with the elevator to kill me

[JJ-uumw]

with those odds i think ill just stay home i don't want to take that chance

[jazminyz]

Only 27 deaths per year

Me: 👁-👁 I didn’t think it was that high

[dearsnow]

my physics teacher in grade 11 mentioned this but i used to think that if you’re jumping up (i.e staying in the same position in space for a moment) while the elevator is falling down rapidly wouldnt the ceiling of the elevator just smack you back down

This video is way too long. Impossible to find the answer in 6.1 seconds.
