Trampolines are usually viewed as fun places to play in the backyard. They're used for recreation, a practice ground for gymnasts, skiers, and cheerleaders, and a guaranteed submission to America's Funniest Home Videos. Sometimes, however, in both Real Life and fiction, trampolines are used for a much more serious purpose. These fall into two main categories: a character is depressed and tries to commit suicide, or a character is in peril and needs to jump to safety. See also Interrupted Suicide and Heroic Fire Rescue. In a comic setting, can be subverted with The Not Catch. |

When the officers of Reno 911! have to save someone from the upper story of a burning building, they grab a trampoline for the person to land on. Needless to say, it doesn't go to plan. | |

In Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin improvises one of these using his jacket to help Roo jump down from a tree. Tigger, on the other hand, is unwilling to use it. In one episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a fire drill fails when Pooh is not there to help hold up the trampoline. |

Kiki's Delivery Service has a charming use of this trope at the end of the film. After Kiki saves Tombo, firefighters rush a safety tramp below the kids as they slowly descend, just as a safety precaution considering the weight Kiki had to manage with her flight power. | |

Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart: Mao Mao, Badgerclops and Adorabat try to use one to catch Sweety Pie, Slim Pigguns from a burning building that he was too oblivious to realize he was in danger from. Just to make it more frustrating, the trio were currently not on speaking terms and refusing to speak at all and couldn't convey for him to jump into the net. Suffice to say, he lands next to the net. | |
