A question of physics

[Vitriolinsanity]

I'm on holiday. The lifts are well dodgy.

Aside from using stairs (10 floors) I am pondering if one fell 10 floors in a free fall lift, would one have a better/worse chance than free falling 10 floors.

Or is this a kilo of feathers/kilo of cement question?

Disclaimer it's a nice afternoon, wine has been taken

In the UK passenger lifts will lock as the safety brakes engage.
This means you will experience a sudden drop but not the full height

A friend of a friend was in a lift fall before I knew her. This was in a service lift which either didn’t have the brake or was a less effective type and she was in a fall of a few floors.
If I recall correctly she had the impact shock through her legs with fractures, and had an effect on her knees. I suspect also to her hip

My apologies, I'll be in the breakfast lounge.

Less ouch more 'splash' I should think
