Line 6:
Of course, the moment someone says this, they've guaranteed that the person in question not only ''has'' survived, but will be coming back to spoil someone's day.
If it happens towards the end of a story, expect a [[Finger
If the villain's hand ''[[Take a Moment To Catch Your Death|reaches up and grabs your ankle]]'' from below the ton of bricks / edge of the cliff, that's... a trope of its own.
Line 16:
(This also frequently occurs with explosions and collapsing structures. When it's the hero caught in the explosion, it's possible that [[Dead All Along|no one DID survive that]] if they weren't stalled by a [[Disney Death]].)
Along with [[Nothing Can Stop Us Now]] and [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]], this is one of the things a [[Genre Savvy]] character should '''[[Tempting Fate|never ever ever]]''' say. In fact, they should [[Dope Slap]] anyone who does...
If the trope is overused with one character, it's a case of [[Why Won't You Die?]]
