* Inverted in Manga/HayateTheCombatButler: Hinagiku, afraid of heights, yells at Hayate to catch her and jumps out of a tree before he can even react. After stepping on his face, she manages a perfect landing.

* Used in the first chapter of obscure shoujo manga ''TenYoriMoHoshiYoriMo''. The heroine is being menaced by murderous thugs on top of a skyscraper when who should come along but a Bishie on a hang glider. A few lines later she jumps into his arms and they fly off into the sunset. No, really.

* An OverlyLongGag in the ''TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Firedogs."

* Parodied in [[TheMuppets The Muppets Christmas Carol]]. Rizzo the Rat climbs to the top of a gate and jumps into Gonzo's arms so they can catch up to the main characters. After they recover, Rizzo suddenly realizes that he [[SomethingWeForgot forgot his jellybeans]] on the other side of the gate, as well as the fact that he was able to go [[ForgotICouldFly between the bars]] of the gate [[WhatanIdiot the entire time]].

* Used in one episode of the ''BubblegumCrisis'' OVA when Sylia and Linna are flying alongside and a little below a speeding car and Priss is trying to get the passengers out.

* ''{{Despicable Me}}'': At the end, Gru says this nearly word-for-word to Margo, the last of the three girls to jump to safety. Unfortunately, they ''both'' fall. Luckily, the minions save them.

* An OverlyLongGag in the ''TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Firedogs"
* Inverted on the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic episode "The Last Roundup". Pinkie jumps off a moving stagecoach and yells "Rarity, catch me!"(They both fall out of the stagecoach Rarity is in.)

* Famed pro wrestling manager/booker/promoter/commentator Jim Cornette was doing a bit during Starrcade '86 where he was chased up a scaffold, then took a bump off it. However, the work order must have been sent wrong, and the 15 foot scaffold was built to 25 feet. Crockett decided he would do what skydivers do, and drop and roll when he landed. The fall was going to be aided by Bubba, who was going to catch him. He would fall into Big Bubba Rogers' arms, and they would both drop and roll to the left. Predictably, the relatively green Rogers' missed catching him, and Cornette blew his knee out. Or rather, in. {{squick}}

* Invoked on the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic episode "The Last Roundup". Pinkie jumps off a moving stagecoach and yells "Rarity, catch me!"(They both fall out of the stagecoach Rarity is in.)

* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', during a visit to the [[WinnieThePooh Hundred Acre Wood]], Piglet is blown in the blustery wind and ends up on a high tree. Sora and Pooh come over and the former says this trope. Piglet gathers his courage and jumps. Sora misses him, but Pooh doesn't.

Alice is stuck on a ledge with no apparent stairs, elevator, rope or other normal way to reach the ground and needs to get down fast so that she can escape the bad guys, catch up to the others, etc. Bob, waiting on the ground, holds up his arms and shouts out something along the lines of "Jump, I'll catch you!". There may be some hesitation, but eventually Alice jumps into Bob's waiting arms...well, at least she tried.

* Done spectacularly by Donna Noble in her first ''Series/DoctorWho'' appearance. She jumps -wait for it- from a speeding taxi on a motorway driven by a homicidal android into the TARDIS (which is [[strike:flying]] wobbling along about 2m from the cab) ''in her wedding dress.'' (She flattens the Doctor, but he's had heavier things land on him.)

* This troper knew someone who said this to his 6-year old son, who had climbed a tree. When the kid jumped, the father stood to one side, letting the kid fall. He then said, in all seriousness: "That's your first lesson. ''[[{{Jerkass}} Never trust anyone]]''".
** What the hell?! To do that to a 6-year old is just [[PrecisionFStrike fuckin']] [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle643yzv8u wrong]]. Somebody, [[GroinAttack kick that guy in the nuts]] for me.
