Line 19:
** Pain does this quite brutally against both {{spoiler|Jiraiya}} and {{spoiler|Fukasaku}}, although it's unclear whether {{spoiler|Hinata}} was actually impaled or just "poked".
** Hidan pretty much makes this trope his way of life. He does this to ''himself'', but a combination of [[Immortality]] and a voodoo-like technique he gets the pleasure of it happening to whoever he used for a ritual.
** A flashback shows {{spoiler|Madara}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20121124071357/http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-399/page011.html was impaled] after fighting {{spoiler|the first Hokage}}, and everyone assumed he must have died.
** Jugo was partially impaled by {{spoiler|the Raikage's}} '''arm''', even after it went all the way through his [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|shield]]. Luckily for Jugo, [[Nigh Invulnerability|he can survive that]].
** In chapter 504, {{spoiler|Minato and Kushina sacrifice themselves to save Naruto by letting the Kyuubi impale them on his claw}}.
Line 496:
* As mentioned in the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' example, there exist a number of tall buildings with flagpoles in front of them in [[Real Life]]. Invariably, urban legends (sometimes true) spring up of suicide jumpers missing the ground and hitting the pole instead, resulting in this trope.
* A hand rail impaled Mexican artist Frida Kahlo in a bus accident. Which was probably the least painful of her injuries.
* Gather round and hear the story of [[wikipedia:Phineas Gage|Phineas Gage]]. While working on a railroad crew laying track in 1848, a dynamite mishap projected a metal rod 1.25 inches wide through his cheek and jaw, then behind his left eyeball, finally exiting through ''the top of his skull'' and landing 80 feet away. Despite both of his frontal lobes being damaged, Gage was sitting up and speaking within a few minutes. His skull is on display at [https://www.countway.harvard.edu/lenya/countway/live/menuNavigation/historicalResources/warrenAnatomicalMuseum.html#Photos the Countway Library of Medicine.]{{Dead link}}
** Of course, he spent the rest of his life [[Not Himself]]. The only upside is that biologists learned more about what frontal lobe damage does to a person.
** Gage was essentially the first example of a frontal lobotomy—contrary to myth, however, his case did not inspire the medical procedure (his symptoms weren't anything people would want to ''replicate'').
