Question:
If you were in a falling lift, could you save yourself by jumping at the last second?
Answers:
All modern lifts have the Otis safety catch. They can't fall even if you cut through the cable.
If you are in a falling lift and you jump, you will continue falling with the lift - just a little later than you would have been. The lift hits the bottom at 400 mph and stops. You hit the lift floor at 400 mph. Well done, you've put off the inevitable by a tenth of a second.
