V-shape collapse of the floor shifts the victim to the botton of the V; Lean-to collapse of the floor shifts the victim to the lowest end of the collapse; Tent or A-frame collapse of a floor shifts the victim to the lower outer ends of the collapse; Pancake collapse of several floors may not shift the victim - instead the victim falls straight down with the collapsing floors
