Trash Landing: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Someone's [[No Escape but Down|long fall]] is broken by an open dumpster or an open heaping trash can. The trash will usually be [[Not the Fall That Kills You|softer than anything else in the immediate vicinity]] - [[Fridge Logic|you'd think]] there was a chance of broken glass in there, but this is hardly ever a problem... [[Wild Mass Guessing|maybe fictional people are better at wrapping it in cardboard.]]

Sometimes, the person doing the falling aimed for the trash.

 

 

Another common variation, limited solely to comic uses, generally to kids' shows and mostly to people who really deserve it, is the big-ol' pile of horsesh... er, manure.
