* In ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', while Serena is running towards a field of flowers, she fails to notice a cliff in front of her; the ledge breaking under her foot and causing her to slide down the cliff, with Ash grabbing her hand and getting pulled down with her. While the cliff is revealed to not be that high, Ash does end up with a [[TwistedAnkle twisted ankle]] from the slide.

I don't know what those kinds of baskets are called and I am unsure if it was this he said in English as I watched the Swedish version.

-->'''Mr. Lee''': "It might not be the most high tech but I'll admit that it was quite conveniently placed."

* In ''Film/ScaryMovie3'', the lady who parodies Anna Morgan from ''Film/TheRing'' jumps off a cliff only to crash into a tree branch. "Oh, shit!" she says before rolling off it. Watch the scene [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a71DHmiby18 here]].
* Played with in ''Film/SuperFuzz'' (1980). After developing his super powers, Speed and his partner respond to a situation on the [=23rd=] floor of a building. During the scuffle, Speed gets thrown out of the window. There's a window washing platform a couple of floors down, but Speed misses it. Instead, he uses his powers to safely land on the sidewalk. When he rejoins the fight, his partner looks out of the window, sees the platform, and assumes this trope got played.

* In the ''Creator/AbbottandCostello'' film ''Buck Privates'', Lou falls over the edge of a cliff during an army training exercise. When Bud looks down and asks him what he's doing in the tree he's clinging to, Lou shouts back, "I sat on it when it was an acorn!"

Wrong. The next shot [[RevealShot reveals]] that their fall has been interrupted. If PlayedForLaughs, it's usually a window washing platform or a deck on a lower level that saved their life. If PlayedForDrama, the character will probably be holding on to a ledge or protruding pole. If they've gone off a cliff, it's usually a small tree that's likely to start breaking under their weight to add further suspense, in which case this situation has turned into a LiteralCliffhanger.

* ''Anime/MaquiaWhenThePromisedFlowerBlooms'': At the end of the film, a deeply traumatized Leillia throws herself from the top of the Mezarte castle while declaring she can fly. Maquia, riding the last renato, catches Leillia mid-fall and swoops past the onlookers atop the castle. The situation can be read as a SuicidalGotcha because it's unclear if Leillia knew about the renato or was genuinely suicidal.

* In ''VideoGame/LaMulana2'', one of the final rooms in the game includes a collapsing bridge the player is encouraged to run across. However, actually letting themselves fall reveals the room below is not only safe, it contains a hidden save point.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''. In "Rise of the Old Masters", Ezra is doing Jedi training on top of the Ghost as it's flying through the atmosphere. Zed is throwing cartons at him that he's supposed to deflect with his lightsaber, and eventually knocks him off the gun turret, but it turns out he's just landed on the hull of the ship. The ''next'' time this happens however he really does fall (fortunately Kanan saves him using the Force).
