A straightforward way to demonstrate that a character is both nigh-indestructible and supremely confident of that fact, is to have them exit a rooftop or high window by simply stepping off the edge. Blithely taking a fall that would kill a normal person, then striding away unharmed, conveys an impression of invincibility without the complexities or expense of a full-on fight scene. The more casual the character's demeanor in taking the plunge, the more badass an image they project. Dropping off cliffs, from aircraft, or into deep holes are common variants. A popular move for someone with Super-Toughness. Often combined with Three-Point Landing and/or Ground-Shattering Landing. Sister Trope to Suicidal "Gotcha!", in which a non-invulnerable character takes a deliberate long drop, but their fall is safely arrested mid-way. Aversion of Not the Fall That Kills You…, as the character doesn't need to avoid hitting the ground to survive. Contrast No Escape but Down (which this trope may subvert) and Arduous Descent to Terra Firma. |

In Stan Lee's Lucky Man, Harry is trying to escape from the bad guys but to do so he must jump off a roof of a building. The jump is guaranteed to break some bones unless you are very lucky and land just right. Fortunately for Harry, he has an ancient bracelet that makes its wearer extremely lucky. He lands on the ground with no injuries. | |

The martial artist cast of Ranma ½ ignore high falls on a regular basis (with the possible exception of Akane, forcing Ranma into some acrobatics to save her). In the last arc of the manga, they fall down a mountain and are seen to leave deep imprints in the earth on impact... but then they just walk it off, looking no worse for wear. | |

The Dresden Files: The mysterious Grey Cloak from White Night tries to elude Harry Dresden by running into a parking garage, then dropping off the roof on the opposite side, in the hope that Harry will be left behind watching its exit. In Turn Coat, Lara Raith and her White Court companions disembark from a helicopter onto the island, without bothering to rappel down ropes. Gard charges straight off a thirty-foot ledge in her berserk eagerness to attack the grendelkin in the Side Jobs short story "Heorot", landing unharmed with an axe. |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: In "Duel of the Droids", Anakin and Ahsoka drop in on the listening post from their ship high above, with Anakin using the Force to make himself fall even faster, and then cushion their landing at the last second with the Force. The clones have to use Jet Packs to keep the jump from being fatal for them and to end up landing on their target. In "Landing at Point Rain", Anakin and Ahsoka do it again when jumping off a large wall they've just detonated... after Force-throwing Captain Rex high into the air without warning him, meaning they have to telekinetically catch him after they land so he doesn't go splat. |

Ordinarily, this is quite averted in Fallout 4. Jump off a ruined skyscraper or a broken highway and it'll end about as well as you'd expect... unless you happen to be wearing a suit of power armor. Take the leap while you're wearing even a bare power armor frame and not only will you take no damage, but anyone too close to your point of impact will be injured instead — especially if your aim is good. | |

Attack of the Clones: While chasing an assassin on Coruscant, Anakin politely says "If you'll excuse me" to Obi-Wan before leaping out of their vehicle to plummet several stories through Coruscant's flying traffic to land on the assassin's vehicle. Obi-Wan snarks "I hate it when he does that." At the arena, Mace Windu confronts the Separatist leaders in their balcony overlook, then leaps down to the arena floor, deflecting blaster bolts the whole way down. |

The Animatrix: In "Final Flight of the Osiris", making use of the time the rest of the doomed Osiris crew buys, the female crew member is shown to hurry through the Matrix to drop off the alarming message to Zion. In her run, likely as one of ways to shortcut, she takes a dive into the asphalted ground and causes ripples by the impact of the landing. It's in the virtual world, yet as Neo's training episodes from The Matrix prove, no-selling physical damage is a feat. | |

Fantastic Four: During John Byrne's tenure, he had She-Hulk substitute for Ben Grimm. While fighting against the mask of Doctor Doom (who'd presumably died), she fell from a top-story window of the Baxter Building, and plummeted many stories to the street below. Of course, this won't hurt She-Hulk much; she instead aimed to miss the people and cars to minimize the collateral damage. How thoughtful. | |

The Tick: Parodied in "The Tick vs the Idea Men" when the Tick decides to start his patrol of The City by leaping from rooftop to rooftop, only to at one point casually leap off the side of a building and realize mid-air that there are no other roofs in sight he can actually land on. He ends up crashing into the street, and while he's Nigh Invulnerable, he ends up punching a hole in the pavement and is buried up to his waist in concrete. | |

This is lampshaded in Burn Notice when Michael's narration explains that only someone very badass or very desperate will jump off a building to avoid pursuit. If you do jump off and don't get seriously killed, you are usually in the clear since an average pursuer is not going to be badass or desperate enough to follow you. It is then subverted right after when we see that while Michael indeed escapes by jumping off the roof of a building, Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs and he hurts his leg in the process. | |

The first mission of Duke Nukem 3D has Duke on a rooftop, loading his pistol, and grousing "Damn! Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!" Duke's fun begins when he kicks out the fan on a roof vent and climbs into the shaft, falling three of four stories to the alien-infested street below. This barely gets a grunt out of him, and has no effect on his health because he lands on a pair of medkits which instantly heal the damage from the fall. | |
