Falling

Any situation where the whumpee is at a high place and then... they are not.

May be a fall from the sky (from being carried by a flying creature or flying themselves), a building, cliff,...

Sometimes might be preceded by "hanging by a thread", and quite rarely will end up in (permanent) death.

Check the **complete Tropes index** for more.
