Line 16:
* In the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Ethics", [[The Worf Effect|Worf's]] spine is broken when a cargo container falls on him. It seems almost humourous, since the way it falls and bounces indicates that it's so light it wouldn't even hurt a human, let alone a big sturdy Klingon.
** There's another example in the [[Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS]] episode "The Return of the Archons": A melon-sized "rock" bounces off a stuntman's head and he keeps running. Apparently it wasn't supposed to hit him at all, and was left in under time pressure.
* The opening to ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'' makes fun of this, as a rock bounces right off George Newman's head mid-fantasy and does nothing to him.
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' has an episode with a flashback which reveals how Daniel Jackson's parents were killed. Apparently, they were crushed to death under the collapsing walls of an ancient cardboard temple.
** It was also parodied rather hilariously in the ''Wormhole X-Treme'' episode when they kept pelting the Jackson-analog with the "bricks" in multiple 'takes'.
