I've always been under the impression that jumping in an elevator wouldn't help at all, especially after reading a snippet of physics where Einstein said that free fall was identical to zero gravity.
I just watched an episode of QI (a British game show) where they said that jumping would only take off about five pounds of force... How would jumping help at all? If the elevator is in free fall, then you're not really jumping--you're just pushing, right?
