If you're in a falling elevator, the best thing to do is lie flat on your back on the floor, protecting your head and face with your arms; this distributes the impact force across your body, maximizing your chances of survival in the extremely rare event of a freefall.
Key points to remember:
Do not jump: Jumping at the last moment is not effective and could cause further injury.
Protect your head: This is the most crucial part, so use your arms to shield your face and head.
Lie on your back: This position helps distribute the impact force evenly across your body.
Stay calm: Though frightening, panicking will not help the situation.
