'''Gwen:''' No! I mean, we shouldn't have to do this! It makes no logical sense! Why is it here?! <br />
'''Jason:''' Because it's on the television show. <br />
'''Gwen:''' Well, forget it! I'm not doing it! This episode was ''[[Who Writes This Crap?|badly written!]]''|''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'' }}
This is a [[Booby Trap]] in which big stone blocks, spiked walls or sharp blades [[Durable Deathtrap|repeatedly]] ram into each other in a narrow hallway. The way past them is to either immediately run through when they separate or find a way to jam them. Multiple traps lined up may require some pattern memorization.

* ''[[An Untitled Story (Video Game)|An Untitled Story]]'' has [[Super Mario Bros|Thwomp]]-like enemies which come crashing down when approached. They even come in [[Underground Monkey|three flavours]].
* The first screen of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'' features four spiked walls that quickly zip across about 90 percent of the screen, resulting in the usual [[Ludicrous Gibs|messy demise]] of The Kid if he's not already in the safe 10 percent when that happens.
* ''[[Bug! (Video Game)|Bug]]!'' has them. Interestingly enough, there were two kinds- stomper-looking things (non-fatal, does 1 hp damage) and moving terrain (fatal). Later levels would remove the former and use the latter, upping the difficulty. Both would make Bug get [[Squashed Flat]], of course.
* In ''[[Miner 2049 er (Video Game)|Miner 2049 er]]'', one station has a whole row of these traps to walk through.
* ''[[Marathon (Video Game)|Marathon]]'' occasionally uses these, such as the final gauntlet in Defend THIS!. In a few levels, such as By Committee in ''Infinity'', the doors can crush you.
