Regularly subverted: Any character standing on a ledge [[MistakenForSuicidal is mistaken for a jumper]]. Another subversion, rather more cruel, is when somebody else shows up JustInTime... but ''fails'' to prevent the suicide, and has to witness it instead.

Compare BungledSuicide, where the suicidee succeeds in carrying out the deed... but doesn't die. Compare HappilyFailedSuicide, where the suicidee is ''happy'' that they failed or were interrupted. Contrast with MistakenForSuicidal, where a character believes they're saving someone but in reality, the "suicidee" wasn't actually suicidal.

* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', Yui goes back into the book to search for Miaka, and ends up being attacked by a bunch of thugs who [[AttemptedRape attempt to rape her]]. During the attack, she falls unconscious, and Nakago kills the would-be rapists before they actually get to do anything. When Yui wakes up, she believes she has been raped and tries to commit suicide by cutting her wrists, but Nakago stops her. [[ManipulativeBastard He then tricks her into believing that Miaka had simply abandoned her to her fate and only returned for Tamahome (and does not tell Yui that she was ''not'' actually raped)]], causing Yui to take up the role of Priestess of Seiryuu.

* Subverted in the Marvel Knights run of ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'': Soap has finally had enough of the crap life keeps dumping on him, and has his gun in his mouth in the bathroom of his usual bar, when he's interrupted by Kevin the barman... who angrily tells him to go commit suicide somewhere else so he doesn't have to clean up the blood and brain matter Soap is so inconsiderately going to splatter everywhere.

* Arto Paasilinna's novel ''Hurmaava joukkoitsemurha'' ("The Amazing Group Suicide", more or less) starts with one of the protagonists about to hang himself in an out-of-the-way abandoned barn when he's interrupted by the other main character... who's come there to shoot himself.

HilarityEnsues, literally: it's one of the funniest works in Finnish literature. (Ending spoiler: [[spoiler: EverybodyLives]].)

* In ''Literature/TheMerryMuse'', a Scottish poet attempts to jump off a bridge but is saved by the (rather forcible) intervention of an English tourist.

She's out of surgery and wants to see him, so he goes to the hospital, but gets his stomach pumped before he goes to her room.

* A somewhat chilling subversion. A man who attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge but survived was talking about the things that drove him to commit the act. Towards the end of the interview, he mentions that of all the spectators at the bridge, none of them intervened. He then admits that just before he jumped off, he wished one of them would intervene.

* In the Soviet short ''Animation/OnceUponADog'', the titular Dog was kicked out of his house by his owners for being too old to protect them, and so he was left to fend for himself in the woods. He spent his first day trying and failing to chase after animals to eat, so by night, he grabbed a makeshift rope and was about to tie it to a tree when he was interrupted by the old Wolf he used to chase around. Wolf asked him if he's a tree climber, to which Dog replied that he [[BlatantLies was trying to catch a bird]]. From there, Dog and Wolf befriend each other, and Wolf later helps Dog ingratiate himself to his owners again.
