What goes up must always come down. In this case, it comes down ''hard''.
Line 6:
This trope illustrates characters who can land with such an impact that it can break the ground beneath them. Remember though, to have enough force to break the ground, (often a concrete sidewalk or asphalt street) you also would have enough force to break your legs, or if you are falling from high enough, every bone in your body. Though given the mass of the human body even that isn't likely to be enough to break solid concrete. However, those who make a dramatic entrance this way are rarely human anyway.
 
Can be combined with [[Three -Point Landing]] for extra [[Badass]] points.
 
See [[In a Single Bound]] who this would probably apply to. Also see [[Ground Pound]] for examples of more hard landings.

Line 22:
* See Superman, The Incredible Hulk, and other heroes with massive strength or mass.
** [[The Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|The Incredible Hulk]] often uses this as an attack.
** [[Iron Man]]'s famous [[Three -Point Landing]] pose is well known for causing this kind of damage.

Line 60:
* Shogun type enemies in [[The Dishwasher]]: Vampire smile do this either when they spawn or when they leap in the middle of combat. And at higher difficulties, ''[[For Massive Damage|they really, really hurt.]]''
* Jarvan in ''[[League of Legends]]'' does this, leaping on someone and trapping them within the circle of rock that shoots up around the impact point.
* Ezio in ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed Revelations]]'' does this to a wooden platform during the opening cinematic, after escaping from his impending hanging by wrapping the rope around the hangman's neck and jumping off, untying himself while dangling in midair, then falling at least three stories and finishing with a [[Three -Point Landing]]. Better, this is [[Canon]], as gameplay starts immediately following the event, from which Ezio [[Unflinching Walk|walks away]] [[Made of Iron|without a scratch]]. Did we mention that he's [[Badass Grandpa|52]] at the time?
* You can do this everytime you respawn in [[Section 8]]'s multiplayer, complete with [[Three -Point Landing]]... which is to be expected since 'respawning' includes dropping in (Being shot out of a [[Drop Ship]]) from 15 kilometers above ground with nothing but your [[Power Armor]]. While you do have airbrakes to give you a somewhat softer landing, there's always the possibility of some self-induced [[Death From Above]] on some poor sap who forgot to look up to see you coming.
