News you will never use.

Ever wonder what you should do if you ever happen to find yourself in a free-falling, out of control elevator?

The answer is, lie flat on your back:

With these factors in mind, the consensus view holds that your best bet is to lie flat on your back on the floor and cover your face and head to guard against debris. Hitting the ground floor in this position spreads the force of impact across your body; it also orients your spine and long bones perpendicular to the impact direction, which will better protect them from crushing damage. Your thinner bones, like ribs, might still snap like twigs, but you’re picking your poison here.

Of course, you will probably die anyway.
