Not the Fall That Kills You: Difference between revisions

* In an episode of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Rarity falls for 50 seconds, which in Earth's gravity and air resistance would be at least a mile. Rainbow Dash accelerates to Mach 1, straight down, before catching her and making an instant 90-degree turn. This is approximately 1670 G's of force.

** This happens again in Secret of My Excess; Spike and Rarity fall for around 30 seconds before Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy save them using only a piece of cloth.

* In a 2-part ''[[King of the Hill]]'' episode, Hank and Peggy go skydiving, but Peggy's parachute ([[Failsafe Failure|and emergency chute]]) fail to deploy. Everyone fears her dead, and it's [[Lampshaded]] just how miraculous a survival from that height is. She ends up in a [[Bandage Mummy|full body cast]], goes through a psychological roller coaster, and for a few episodes is still going through physical therapy just to walk again.

* In the [[Five Episode Pilot]] of ''[[Gargoyles]]'', Goliath falls off a skyscraper and tries to grab a flagpole. It snaps immediately, in what the creators have referred to as a "This-ain't-[[Batman]]" moment.
