* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt]] encountered this trope while exploring Brazil in 1913. The former President attempted to travel down an uncharted river in dugout canoes. When they encountered a waterfall, the group attempted to carry the heavy canoes past it. However, they encountered so many waterfalls that the group eventually resorted to just throwing the canoes over the falls and hoping they weren't smashed. The absurd number of waterfalls (and the occasional need to carve new canoes) became such an obstacle that starvation and illness threatened to destroy the group. Roosevelt barely survived the journey, and some members of his party died along the way.

Will our hero recover JustInTime to jump out of the boat in next week's episode? Of course he does.

It's an inversion if the fall happens before the river traversal
