Crowd surfing has two three major variants:



* The Trust Fall, in which it's expected that Alice will jump from a height and everyone will catch her.

The trope has subversions built into it as well:
* Alice attempts to crowd surf, but she somehow misses the crowd and bellyflops on the ground
* Bob attempts to surf but the crowd cannot support him (cue grunting and straining)
* Carol gives it a shot and the crowd intentionally moves away causing her to crash (bonus points if it's onto someone small who couldn't get out of the way)
* Dan gives it a go, but winds up leaping into an AngryMob who begin to beat the ever loving out of him.




to:

* ''Film/MeanGirls'' has this near it's climax as a trust exercise, with subversions thrown in.
