A character is holding onto a ledge or rope by their fingers far above a rocky chasm or atop a building. One by one, each finger loses its grip. To ramp up the tension, the ledge or rope may be wet, or rain is falling. Or someone or something may peel the fingers off slowly, one by one... The trope is often paired with a villain at the ledge stomping on their hands or peeling the finger off. When there isn't a villain around, another hero or their ally will try to grasp their hands. If they do fall, their death isn't certain if they are a hero, especially if they are "wearing" Plot Armor. If they need to survive for plot purposes, they may grab a vine/gutter/drainpipe in mid-air or land on a conveniently-present soft surface (bales of hay in a Period Piece or a pile of garbage bags in modern stories). Villains who are dangling by their fingers near the end of a story (when they have no Plot Armor) may lose their grip and plummet to their death, giving a satisfying moral about how "crime does not pay". Villains in kids' movies have a high propensity to lose their grip and fall to their doom, because Moral Guardians find it more acceptable than having a scene where the hero stabs the villain ten times. If the creator wants to do Fanservice, they may show a female character from below with a gratuitous Panty Shot. If Played for Comedy or Played for Drama or whatever have you, the rescuer may themselves fall and have to be grabbed by an even stronger person. Subtrope of Literal Cliffhanger. See also Stock Clock Hand Hang, Take My Hand!, Chain of People, Hand Stomp. |

In North By Northwest, Cary Grant is hanging off Mt. Rushmore by his fingers (while holding up Eva Marie Saint with his other hand). Bad guy Martin Landau presses down on his fingers with his shoe only to be shot right off the cliff. How the heroes get back up is kind of glossed over. | |

Unlike the book, the film of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King sees Frodo put in this predicament after a struggle with Gollum for the One Ring, whereas in the novel Gollum plummets unaided through his own carelessness. Cue tense sense where Sam struggles to but eventually does pull him up. | |

"A Hare Grows in Manhattan" has Bugs do this to a bulldog named Spike. In "A Tale of Two Kitties" Catstello is hanging by an electrical wire when Tweety comes over and does the "This widdle piddy" gag to him as he releases Catstello's toes. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978) sees the Heart of Gold materialise in what Ford and Zaphod initially take to be a massive chilly marble cave. When the floor of the cave tips under them and sends them skidding towards the entrance, they realise they are in fact several miles above the surface of the bleak planet of Brontitall. note they are in fact in the plastic cup part of a hyper-massive memorial statue celebrating Arthur Dent Throwing The Cup Back At The Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser, the symbolic act that caused humanity to rebel against dependence on robots and machines. Zaphod ends up danging by his fingertips on the rim of the Cup, swearing terribly at Ford, who is not disposed to assist on the grounds that there's no point. | |

Special Female Force: Macy in the Action Prologue, after trying to fight The Dragon, Lung, to no avail and ending up being flung over a set of railings. Since Lung is the Sadist, his Hand Stomp method is to gleefully bend down to drive his knife slowly underneath Macy's fingernails, slowly tormenting her until the pain gives away causing her to fall to her death. In the climax, Cat ends up hanging over a tall bridge when Lung knocks her over, but Fa drags her back up in time. |

Ichi the Killer has the fight between Ichi and Kakihara come to a close when Kakihara runs away and tries to jump from one apartment building to another, only to invoke this trope. Although no one comes to stomp on his hand, something even worse happens: a bird comes by and shits on his fingers, causing him to slip and fall to his death. | |

Total Drama: In "Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island", Cody, DJ, Tyler, and Owen, who have bound themselves together with a rope to ensure they operate as a team, are chased off a cliff by a bear. Cody is the one to grab onto the edge in time and he actually manages to pull the four of them up a bit. Then the edge breaks off and it's a lucky circumstance Courtney's balloon floats by at that moment or else the quartet would've made an ugly fall. The entirety of Team CIRRRRH and a loaded sledge crash through an ice bridge in "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better". All that saves them are Tyler's unusually strong fingers that grab hold of the nearby cliff's edge and the rope attached to him that the others hold onto. One by one, the rest of the team climbs back up over Tyler and let him deal with the sledge on his own. In "Grand Chef Auto", to prevent Zoey from reaching the top of the totem first, Scott throws his spray can at her. It knocks her back and she can only prevent a serious fall by grabbing onto the totem's wing. She can't pull herself up and eventually her fingers slip, but she makes a reasonably soft landing on Cameron's go-kart. The Heroic Hamsters try to cross the chasm in "Moon Madness" by swinging from a rope. They bump into a tree on the other side, which knocks them back far enough that they go over the edge. Sierra is the one who grabs hold of the edge, with Cameron stuck in a basket on her back and Zoey and Mal still hanging from the rope that's now held up by Sierra's clenched teeth. One by one, the four of them climb back up onto solid ground. |

Nickolai steps on one, monologues a bit, and then forces her into the arena to fight. Resident Evil 4: In the battle against Krauser, Leon ends up hanging over the side of a ruin by his fingers. Krauser ends up stomping on them. Leon ends up hanging by his fingers again in Resident Evil 6, this time off of a bridge. He's trying to get a better grip with his other hand, but Simmons keeps kicking it away all the while crushing his fingers. |

The Lion King: Scar sets a trap for Simba and Mufasa, luring Simba into a gorge and having the hyenas drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede to trample him. Mufasa saves Simba but winds up hanging perilously from the gorge's edge; he begs for Scar's help, but Scar throws Mufasa back into the stampede to his death. Simba spares Scar's life but, quoting what Scar told him long ago, orders Scar to leave the Pride Lands forever. Scar refuses and attacks his nephew, but after a brief battle, Simba throws him off the ledge to the ground below: with Scar clinging briefly to the ledge before falling. |

Thankfully, in the present Nobita (thanks to his new sidekick Mofusuke) managed to collect the spare Time Belt battery hidden 100,000 years ago and bring everyone back to the past, just in time to catch Doraemon as he fell. | |

Tested on Mythbusters, and was deemed plausible that you could support your weight by your fingertips for a short time, though if you wanted to be pulled up, help would need to come VERY quickly. It's notably one of the only times Tory had been hurt (at least, hurt enough to require medical attention): he smashed his knee on a window ledge during the experiment and required stitches. | |

Forever: In "Look Before You Leap" Henry climbs down onto a ledge on a Manhattan bridge to search for clues. When he discovers a carabiner attached to the ironwork and tries to pull it free, it gives way suddenly and Henry nearly falls. He not only manages to catch ahold of an edge and save himself, he does it without dropping the evidence he just collected, holding onto the ledge by one hand while just barely catching ahold of the carabiner and then sliding his fingers through the carabiner so that he can cling by his fingertips with both hands. Eventually Henry manages to climb back up to the roadway. | |

Emergency! series: It's a relatively frequent occurrence and just the occasion to deploy a turntable ladder truck or a jump pad. | |

Slipping off a ledge in Left 4 Dead has your survivor holding on with their arms. As their grip falters, they slip further and can only hold on with their fingers. If they're still dangling, they'll be holding on with the fingers from one hand only. After that, the survivor's grip gives out completely and they fall to their death. While a survivor is hanging, the infected can stomp on the survivor's fingers (or any attack in general) to make them slip faster. | |
