** Joe Bonsall of Music/TheOakRidgeBoys was one of four members of the old-school country/rock band to make it to fifty years as a member. However, over the last few years he was dealing with the slow onset of a neuromuscular condition that affected his legs, limiting his mobility and making it hard to perform live. While he was part of the band when it announced its American Made Farewell Tour in 2023, he retired from touring several months into the tour and handed the baton over to young tenor Ben James.

* In ''VideoGame/TheFlowerCollectors'', Jorge's backstory is that he was a police officer who got drunk one night and was attacked by a couple of teens Jorge previously assaulted. They beat him up and push him off a quay, where he fell onto jagged rocks and became paralyzed from the waist-down. Needless to say, he was forced into retirement.

* Discussed in ''Fanfic/{{Anyone}}''. The last time Izuku and Bakugou meet (on the last day of middle school), they get into a fight which ends with Izuku stepping on Bakugou's wrists, with the clear implication that he could easily break them if he wanted to and end Bakugou's hero carreer before it even started. The moment haunts Bakugou for the rest of the fic.

A plot point of Danny Messer's backstory in ''Series/{{CSINY}}''.backstory. He was an aspiring baseball player, but an arm injury forced him to quit (a storyline that was incidentally drawn from the actor's real-life background).

General clarification on work content


* This happens to anyone in later ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' games that "dies" but is [[PlotArmor too critical to the plot]] to be removed (and doesn't cause a Game Over when defeated, as happens to the main characters.) Everyone else is subject to {{Permadeath}}.

* This happens to anyone in later ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' games that "dies" has their HP reduced to 0 but is [[PlotArmor too critical to the plot]] (read: must appear in cutscenes) to be removed (and doesn't cause a Game Over when defeated, as happens to the main characters.) Everyone else is subject to {{Permadeath}}.{{Permadeath}} (unless the player is on Casual Mode instead). Some games that adhere to this idea go a step further and subject such characters to a DeadlyDistantFinale; the characters can still appear in cutscenes despite being unavailable for use, but their epilogues state that they die soon after the resolution of the conflict because of their wounds.

** Kenji Shibata, who played Daimon Tatsumi in [[Series/KyukyuSentaiGoGoV Kyukyu Sentai GoGoV]] was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor near the end of the series' filming, forcing him to undertake five different surgeries. Although he appeared healthy in return performances as Daimon following the end of {{GoGoV}}, Shibata's condition steadily deteriorated, which heavily affected his motor skills and ability to perform. He retired from showbusiness in 2007 due to ill health, now requiring a cane to walk.

* Wrestling/BigELangston broke his neck as the result of a botched suplex in March 2022, and while he soon recovered and hasn't suffered any apparent nerve or strength damage (he didn't even require surgery after the injury), he's remained out of the action on advice from several doctors who informed him that another, similar injury could kill him on the spot. He remains a part of WWE and periodically makes non-wrestling appearances as a panelist, but as of 2024, he has yet to return to the ring, with Big E remaining understandably ambivalent over such a decision.

* An interesting inversion in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/52083598/chapters/131726215 The Candygirl]]'', where the first chapter has [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Cree Lincoln AKA Numbuh 11]] [[AnArmAndALeg losing her left arm after a fiery explosion while on a mission alongside Sector Z]]. The [=KND=] has a policy for those who are permanently injured to either retire with grace or continue one with the privilege of [[LaserGuidedAmnesia not losing their memories as KND operatives when they turn 13]]. This means that not only Cree continue serving the KND [[AdaptationalHeroism and never joins the Teen Ninja like in the cartoon]], but that she also [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation becomes a member of the Teen Next Door to help aid her younger colleagues from the shadows]].



* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13529170/1/The-Scars-That-Make-You-Whole The Scars That Make You Whole]]'', the Magic Barrier Particles that [[Manga/FairyTail Laxus]] absorbed during the battle with Tartarus are becoming this, which leads him to join to Blue Pegasus (which acts as both a wizard guild and a host club) after Fairy Tail's disbandment so he can change career without too many questions.

* This is part of the background detail explanation for the reappearance of Dillon's OldFriend Ray in ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns''; he was pursuing a career in hockey (presumably ice hockey, given that this is set in {{Canada|Eh}}), but he's now suffered a knee injury and decided to switch to acting.
