When someone is badly injured and you need to get that across, show him post-accident partly or completely encased in plaster casts and/or bandages. Usually, they'll be in a hospital bed, with maybe one or two arms or legs suspended, and completely immobilised.

[[Truth in Television]], obviously.

* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the family visits daredevil Lance Murdock in the hospital when Bart decides to become a daredevil. Murdock's arms and legs are in casts & slings, and he signs a headshot with a sharpie in his mouth.

* It's not a complete body binding, but after Thrust gets his metal butt handed to him by Starscream in ''[[Transformers Armada]]'' his next scene shows him with bandages around his pointed head and his arm in a cast. Given that he's a robot one wonders at the point of putting bandages on at all.

* Lucius on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', but [[Jerkass|he deserves it]].

* One episode of ''[[King of the Hill]]'' has Peggy end up in a full body cast after a skydiving accident.
