* During UsefulNotes/TheVikingAge, Prince Igor of Kiev [[CruelAndUnusualDeath met his demise from this]].

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': During a short arc where Garfield was hanging from a tree by his mouth, Odie tries repeatedly to get him down. [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1988/07/07 His final idea]] was to simply bend the tree branch down, lowering Garfield, who congratulates him for doing something right. Odie lets go to do a victory clasp, which causes the branch to snap back, sending Garfield flying.

* In episode 23 of ''Series/UltramanTaro'', Kotaro Higashi and his fellow [=ZAT=] teammates use a tree to launch him up onto the face of Rodera, the episode's MonsterOfTheWeek, so that he can attempt to rescue a family who were trapped up there. Once in place, Kotaro [[EyeScream hacked away at Rodera's eye with a bamboo weapon]], dislodging everyone, but fortunately he was able to transform into Taro to rescue the falling people.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRunDawnOfTheNugget'': After his and Ginger's daughter, Molly, is kidnapped by a new farm, [[PapaWolf Rocky]] decides to go in and get her out [[LeeroyJenkins before anyone can even come up with a plan]].

However, unfortunately, a rope on his leg swings him back towards the other side, getting him painfully (but non-fatally) electrocuted.
