Often used in comedy and a sister trope to the Trust-Building Blunder.
Alice is stuck on a ledge with no apparent stairs, elevator, rope or other normal way to reach the ground and needs to get down fast so that she can escape the bad guys, catch up to the others, etc. Bob, waiting on the ground, holds up his arms and shouts out something along the lines of "Jump! I'll catch you!". There may be some hesitation, but eventually Alice jumps into Bob's waiting arms...well, at least she tried.
Alice is usually fine. Don't worry, Bob will be okay in a few minutes.

In Kingdom Hearts II, during a visit to the Hundred Acre Wood, Piglet is blown in the blustery wind and ends up on a high tree. Sora and Pooh come over and the former says this trope. Piglet gathers his courage and jumps. Sora misses him, but Pooh doesn't.

Inverted in Hayate the Combat Butler: Hinagiku, afraid of heights, yells at Hayate to catch her and jumps out of a tree before he can even react. After stepping on his face, she manages a perfect landing.
Later in the manga, Fumi attempts the same when Hinagiku is up a tree again. Fumi cringes and then Hina jumps, intending to miss her entirely, and Fumi bolts, causing her to land in a bush.

Parodied in The Muppet Christmas Carol. Rizzo the Rat climbs to the top of a gate and tries to jump into Gonzo's arms so they can catch up to the main characters. After much terrified dithering, he finally jumps, but Gonzo fails to catch him and he hits the ground. Then, after he recovers, Rizzo suddenly realizes that he forgot his jellybeans on the other side of the gate... as well as the fact that he was able to go between the bars of the gate the entire time.

In the second episode of "The Lone Gunmen" Jimmy tells Langly to jump, that he did and he's fine, that it's not that far, and finally promising to catch him. On the latter, Langly finally jumps...only for Jimmy to turn around when Frohike starts talking to him.

Inverted in the episode "The Last Roundup". Pinkie jumps off a moving stagecoach and yells "Rarity, catch me!"(They both fall out of the stagecoach Rarity is in.)
The second episode has Applejack telling Twilight to jump, and Fluttershy and Rainbow catch her.

Done spectacularly by Donna Noble in her first Doctor Who appearance. She jumps from a speeding taxi on a motorway driven by a homicidal android into the TARDIS (which is flying along about 2m from the cab) in her wedding dress. (She flattens the Doctor, but he's had heavier things land on him.)

Used in the first chapter of obscure shoujo manga Ten Yori Mo, Hoshi Yori Mo. The heroine is being menaced by murderous thugs on top of a skyscraper when who should come along but a Bishie on a hang glider. A few lines later she jumps into his arms and they fly off into the sunset. No, really.
