Does the Buffy episode with 'Ted' count as 'narm'? I'm confused. As I recall, Ted got grabby, Buffy gave him a good hit and when he didn't react to the Slayer-strength she knew he wasn't all human. So had to use her moves.

I would add the parody (some Lesley Nielsen?) myself where this trope occurs at breakneck speed but I don't recall the title of the movie. (It happens around a boxing ring, if that helps your memory.)
Seems not to be an example: not just falling over and bumping her head and suchforth.
- The Simpsons: Maude Flanders fell off the back of a sports stadium and died.
Seems not to be an example, no one died.
- Chaotic: No one actually died since it was a drone match, but in one of the battles after a Tom's opponent super sized himself Tom beat him by making him fall on his back from a standing position. Made even worst since Tom used the super size power in the previous episode to survive a hundred foot plunge.
Re: Con Air
I'm not sure this was Death by Fallin Over? The guy opens a flick knife and attacks, Poe reverses it and puts it through his throat (possibly angled up into his brain). It wasn't the fall that killed him...
I believe the first, commented out, CSI: NY example is from a different show altogether. I have marathoned "NY" several times and cannot find this happening in any episode, much less involving a "main character" as the example states.
