* In ''DinosaurKing'', The Alpha Gang has a tendency to fall over these, preceded by a "this feels familiar". In the UsefulNotes/NiagaraFalls episode, it occured twice!
* In ''{{Naruto}}'', Team 7 has a mission cleaning up a river. During the entire episode, Naruto tries to prove that he's better than Sasuke. So, naturally, he gets too close to the giant waterfall, loses his footing, falls into the water, and goes screaming over the waterfall, only to be caught by an annoyed Sasuke.
