1	'''Basic Trope''': Characters run and jump across falling debris.
2	* '''Straight''': When Emperor Evulz tries to kill Alice with RocksFallEveryoneDies, he's shocked to see her racing towards him across the same falling rocks he just dropped on her.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Emperor Evulz detonates a number of buildings, in a desperate attempt to kill Alice. As he looks at the carnage, he's shocked to see Alice leap from building to building.
4	* '''Downplayed''': As a column cracks and starts to topple, Alice grabs her chance and scrambles to the top of it before it hits the ground.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Alice has SuperSpeed.
7	** Alice, Evulz, and a load of debris have been thrown from a plane and are [[VariableTerminalVelocity plummeting through the atmosphere in freefall]]. Weightless, Alice kicks away from one large piece of wreckage to another, working her way closer to her enemy.
8	* '''Inverted''': Alice has been blown into the air by an explosion, and runs back through the shrapnel to get back down to earth.
9	* '''Subverted''': Alice runs up the debris [[GravityIsAHarshMistress until she realises how impossible that is, at which point she starts falling.]]
10	* '''Double Subverted''': But then she [[ForgotICouldFly remembers]] that she is a GravityMaster.
11	* '''Parodied''': Alice and Bob [[TalkingIsAFreeAction stop running to have a brief conversation]] about [[LampshadeHanging how impossible it is that they're doing what they're doing]], before deciding to [[MST3KMantra just not worry about it too much]].
12	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
13	* '''Averted''': Alice hides from the falling rocks, and climbs up the heap of rubble once it's settled.
14	* '''Enforced''': ???
15	* '''Lampshaded''': "How are you ''doing'' that?"
16	* '''Invoked''': Alice can't see a way to climb out of a cave... so she blows up the ceiling and scrambles up the falling rocks.
17	* '''Exploited''': Evulz is a close range combatant much like Alice, and causes the rockfall so that she would get herself [[InstantDeathRadius in striking distance.]]
18	* '''Defied''': "Quick! We can run up the stones as they fall!" "You... you never did very well in physics class, did you Bob?"
19	* '''Discussed''': ???
20	* '''Conversed''': ???
21	* '''Deconstructed''': Humans are not capable of doing this. Alice falls and dies.
22	* '''Reconstructed''': Alice has elemental earth powers that force the rocks to stay up long enough for her to get on them.
