* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series, a staircase in Gryffindor House does this to prevent boys from entering the girls' dormitories. [[Double Standard|The boys' stairs have no such trap.]]
** In the final battle of ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', Hermione turns a staircase in a Hogwarts secret passage into a getaway slide to escape from a pair of Death Eaters. Of course, the Death Eaters simply go sliding down after them, so she turns the tapestry covering the entrance at the bottom to stone. CRUNCH.
* The ''[[Hand of Thrawn]]'' duology has this built into secret passages in Thrawn's fortress, which causes considerable inconvenience to Luke and Mara.
 
== [[Tabletop RPGGames]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''.
** ''[[Dragonlance]]'' module DL12 ''Dragons of Faith''. One of the traps in Chafka's Tower is of this type.
