Contemplating gives me an idea...
So let's be hypothetical. I am on an airplane, and for some reason, it is about to crash land. If I managed to get on top of the plane and jump before impact, would I survive when I hit the floor?

Lets assume you were able to walk on to the top of the plane without getting blown off. Lets also assume that you don't get cut in half by the tail of the plane when you somehow jump.
Then when you hit the ground, you would be going at roughly the same speed as the plane. So after your bones get mashed through your organs as you slam into the ground possibly rolling along depending at what angle you hit the ground at, your body would then be burnt up by the jet fuel from the burning wreck that your dead body bounces into.
In short you would actually be safer to stay inside the plane.

tl;dr version, JUMP OUT PLANE, FUCKED TO OBLIVION.
Thanks for your efforts bio, I know how hard you try and I don't blame you.
Now lets expand on my last point... slightly. When they crash land a plane, they try to do it as smoothly and as safely as possibly. Crash landing is not quite the same as a straight up crash in to the ground with a gigantic happy fun fireball explosion.
If the wings are torn off the plane and all the fuel is spilt and ignited the shell of the plane its self can actually keep the flames outside.
Its much easier to survive landing a plane with no landing gear than it is to land on the ground with your body traveling at 500-700km/h.

Just roll when you hit the ground. You'll be fine.

I dont think jumping would do anything unlesss you could jump higher than you were falling?
