Line 165:
* ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'' reveals that transporter accidents now happen often enough that Starfleet has regulations concerning them. After Ensign Boimler is "cloned" by such an accident, one of the two Boimlers has to be transferred back to the ''Cerritos''.
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Holidays of Future Passed" (which takes place about 30 years in the future) Maggie is warned ''not'' to use a teleportation device while pregnant. One can only guess at what might happen (or what has happened) to warrant such a safety tip, but she decides to heed that advice and travel home by air.
* ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]''; The [[Nightmare Fuel]] aspect of this Trope is briefly discussed in “Teela’s Trial”, the Trope itself downplayed. Man-at-Arms invents a portable teleportation device, and being the [[Genre Savvy]] type he is, he realizes the danger of a malfunction, and thus takes Adam, Teela, and Orko out to the middle of nowhere to test it. Unfortunately, Trap Jaw is there, and after Ducan successfully teleports himself to a ledge, the villain attacks him in order to steal the device. Duncan throws it to Teela, and in her haste to save her father, uses it and teleports him to… somewhere where they can’t find him. He is, in fact, perfectly safe only a few miles away (well, for the moment, Trap Jaw manages to take him prisoner) but Teela doesn’t know that, thinking some horrid fate might have befallen him and blaming herself for it:
{{quote|'''Teela:''' Oh, Adam, [[It's All My Fault|suppose I made a mistake?]] Suppose he reappeared over the ocean, or in it, or over the I Don’t Like the Sound of That Place Eternal Desert? Suppose he just never reappeared at all??}}
