I find it way more unnerving when the floor near (or sometimes not near) elevators stars shaking. Why does that happen? The elevator is obviously not connected to the floor‽

I think you need to stop using elevators wherever you are. I have never had this happen when using an elevator.

Mythbusters actually debunked the myth that you can jump at the right time and survive a falling elevator. Short clip for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/xmloyCC7MOY?si=DbmDkS4w1hyQ3OcZ

Where’s the Mythbusters clip debunking the myth that a (first-world) elevator is even capable of falling?

Yup. The best strategy is to lie down and spread out, with your hands under your head. The bigger the contact area between your body and the floor, the better. But good luck doing that while falling.
