i used to believe that if you were in a falling elevator, you could just jump at the last minute before it crashed at the bottom of the lift shaft, thus reversing your direction while the lift crashed around you. Then you'd land (still inside the mangled lift wreckage) as if you were landing after a normal jump. Genius.
