Compare [[To the Batpole]]. May be a variant of [[Human Snowball]]. Can result in a [[Coincidental Accidental Disguise]]. [[Trope Namer]] is a pun on [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress]].

Line 32:
* Whenever it happens to the [[American Dragon Jake Long]], he'll usually end up in women's sleepwear.
* [[Darkwing Duck]] has had trouble with this a few times, most notably when he was under a bad-luck curse.
* In ''[[An American Tail]]'', after being hurled out a window by a [[Eek! aA Mouse!|frightened woman]], Fievel falls through a sock hanging on a clothesline that had a hole at the end, and then grabs onto a hanging head scarf, using it to parachute the rest of the way down.
* An example without falling: When Wilbur is coming in for a landing in [[The Rescuers Down Under]], Jake rigs up a bra as a drag line. Of course Wilbur ends up wearing the bra.
