Rule of funny always applies here. It is done when a character see's something that threatens them, either being a monster, trap or object falling to the ground. They then attempt to react by first screaming and then attempting to run. They then spend a few seconds in the air running in place until either : a) They barely escape said threat and speed off screen with instant acceleration. b) They end up getting caught/ flattened/ injured/ trapped.
