* A very common trope in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Justified for Buffy, Faith, and the assorted vampires and demons and other beasties, who are supernaturally tough and can take insane amounts of punishment without blinking. However, Xander, Willow, and especially Giles should be quadriplegics several times over by now.

* Played somewhat inconsistently in ''[[Dollhouse]]''. Sometimes, people go down really fast. Other times, well, watch the fight between Boyd and Ballard (particularly the part where one bashes the other's head with a rock).

* In several occasions in ''[[Star Trek TOS|Star Trek]]'' with Spock, whose Vulcan physiology was used as a kind of [[Plot Armor|armour]].

* Rick in ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'' has ''feet'' Made of Iron. He hobbles out of a hospital loading dock down metal mesh work stairs, wanders around a city, and rides a bike (pedals have some pretty big protrusions and ridges for traction) all completely barefoot.

* Averted in ''[[NCIS: Los Angeles]]'' in the episode "Personal", Marty Deeks {{spoiler|is shot at the beginning of the ep and while he does manage to struggle out of his hospital bed near the end, he's bleeding through his bandages, and collapses once the danger is past}}.
