Not, not really
Not, that is, unless you can jump really, really high. If a normal person jumps in a falling lift they just end up falling slightly lower for about a second.

If you could jump high enough and not be injured on landing
Then would there be any need to jump in the first place?

High isn't exactly the right word, but hard doesn't sound quite right.

Don't forget that even if you miraculously jump at the right moment without being able to see the ground hurtling towards you the roof will crush you at 40 floors per second as the lift collapses.
Followed by the cable coiling neatly onto your exploded corpse.
