In situations involving fast-moving vehicles or animals (such as a Traintop Battle), watch out for low bridges, tunnels, light fixtures, and branches. In cartoons and comedies, it's for laughs as characters get knocked off with some bruises; elsewhere, it can be rather gruesome to the point of decapitation. Alternatively, characters will duck, jump off, or move to an awkward position to avoid getting hit. Bonus points if somebody says, "Low bridge!" during such. This trope is not limited to vertical examples. Also included are situations where tall characters knock their heads while walking through a door frame. In pursuit situations, especially with aircraft, skilled pilots can demonstrate their skills by maneuvering through a narrow area, such as during an Aerial Canyon Chase, and their opponents breaking their wings before crashing. Instant Convertible is a Sub-Trope, where the character's car is the victim. Compare Watch Out for That Tree!, Toyota Tripwire, and Belly-Scraping Flight. |

Subverted in Raising Steam; in the midst of a Traintop Battle, protagonist Moist von Lipwig is knocked down and his opponent raises his axe for an ending blow, but Moist notices an oncoming tunnel and smugly says goodbye. However, since the opponent is a dwarf, all that happens is that the roof of the tunnel draws some sparks off his axe...which distracts him long enough for Moist to deliver a Groin Attack. | |

An actual clothesline is used in the Tom and Jerry cartoon "The Flying Cat". While chasing Jerry Mouse outdoors, a canary pulls one clothesline of a set of four down to chin-high on the cat. Tom gets caught in this trap, and flips over to impact against the other three lines. At this point, the clotheslines behave like surgical wires, cutting Tom into four segments that fall to the ground. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Realty Bites", Homer has bought Snake's convertible car during a police auction. Snake escapes from jail to get his "baby" back, and at one point strings wire across the road to cut Homer's head off as he drives by. Homer happens to serendipitously duck as he goes by the wire, but Kirk Van Hauten isn't so lucky: as he complains that his sandwich wasn't sliced by holding it in the air, the wire slices his arm off. The "dodging wooden signs and stone bridges" version is mocked and double subverted in "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em", where, during a sword fight with shrimp and peanuts on top of a moving school bus, Skinner and Bart don't bother to duck and smash straight through a heavy stone bridge like it's made of cotton candy, but panic and jump from the bus when they see a pair of oncoming, flimsy wooden signs. Subverted in "Jazzy and the Pussycats"; the episode begins with the funeral of Amber, Homer's Vegas wife from "Viva Ned Flanders". Lenny starts explaining Amber's death with a mention of the sign warning people not to stand up on the roller coaster, implying that she died as a result of disobeying the sign. He then reveals that she actually died of a drug overdose while standing in line to go on the roller coaster. |

Looney Tunes: In "Lighter Than Hare", as Sam pursues Bugs Bunny on a handcar on his UFO, he crashes into the mountain where the train tracks lead to a tunnel through it. In "Boston Quackie", the Man in the Green Hat is interrupted in mocking Daffy when he hits his head on a wigwag and falls off the train. In 1958's "A Pizza Tweety Pie", Sylvester is waterskiing behind a motorboat in pursuit of Tweety through the canals of Venice, Italy. Sylvester raises himself by the tail to avoid a mooring mast, but impacts hard against a pedestrian bridge that's marked "Duck-a you head / Lowla Bridge-ada" (a pun on Gina Lollobrigida, a popular Italian actress of that era). In "Satan's Waitin'", Sylvester is in pursuit of Tweety on a roller coaster. As he raises his club over Tweety, he gets killed by a low clearance taking the eighth of his nine lives. |

RWBY: Volume 6 opens to a battle that's taking place on the roof of a speeding train between the protagonists and a pack of Manticore Grimm. When the Grimm suddenly back off from fighting, rising up into the air away from the train, the protagonists are momentarily confused until Oscar realises the train is speeding towards a tunnel. While most of the protagonists just barely make it back inside the train in time, Dudley doesn't quite make it, and his arm is crushed by the impact with the tunnel. Jaune is able to use his Aura to amplify Dudley's so that it can heal Dudley's injuries. | |

In Sonic Shuffle, a board-specific mini-game on Fire Bird is called "Sky Bridge". In this mini-game, Sonic and his friends are standing on top of the titular phoenix-turned-airship as it flies under low bridges. They can jump to collect the airborne rings, but must duck to pass under the low bridges. If they don't duck fast enough, then they get knocked off the ship and eliminated from the mini-game. If all four characters get knocked off the airship before the time limit runs out, then the mini-game is over. The airborne rings aren't worth dying for, so if you stay ducked the whole time, you'll be guaranteed to win 20 rings as a bonus. | |

A horizontal variant occurs in Love Live!, alongside a Bust-Contrast Duo gag. Nico is running through the streets, from the rest of the group, who are chasing her. Nozomi is close, but flat chested Nico gets away sideways between two parked cars. The well-endowed Nozomi tries, but doesn't fit. When the other girls come and ask what happened, Nozomi looks toward one of them and sends her through. | |

The Nazi is not so quick witted and the tunnel impacts fatally with him. In #24, Indy battles a Giant Mook on top of a speeding tanker truck. The mook gets splatted by a low bridge as Indy ducks. |

When The Brady Bunch was filming at an amusement park, the producers wanted a shot of the bunch riding a roller coaster, shot from the lead car looking back at them having a great time. Robert Reed, who didn't want to do it anyway, noticed a few places on the coaster where the camera rig would definitely not fit through, and insisted that they perform a dry run (with the camera but without the actors). The producers balked but he eventually talked them into it, and sure enough when the coaster got back to the gate the camera was nowhere to be seen. | |

In the series, it was a downed power line in the second episode that snagged the gunner, nearly strangling him.

In The Kid Brother, Harold has the bad guy trussed up in the back of a cart and is racing back into town. The bad guy manages to get to his feet in the cart, and, unseen by Harold, is working himself free of the ropes, when a low-hanging tree branch clubs him back down to the bottom of the cart. | |

From the Josie and the Pussycats cartoons by Hanna-Barbera, specifically "A Nemo's a No-No Affair", the villain tumbles into a motorcycle sidecar occupied by Alexandra Cabot. Alexandra pulls on his nose, because girls fight funny. The villain rises to his standing height to menace Alexandra, but a low-hanging conduit fulfills this trope, and the villain is ejected from the sidecar. | |

Mace Windu takes advantage of this in Star Wars: Clone Wars: He flies at a gap in the skyscrapers of Coruscant and closes his fighter's S-foils to let him fit through. The Vulture Droids following him can't fit, and wreck themselves on the side of the building trying. | |

In "The Mummy Returns", there's an action sequence on board a double decker bus where Brendan Fraser has to fight off a mummy priest on the second level. The fight ends when the bus has its entire upper half shaved off by a low bridge. Fraser ducks in time, but the mummy ends up splattered on the overpass like a bug on a windshield. | |

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman: Bane is fighting Batman on top of a burning ocean liner in Gotham harbour, not realising the liner is about to run into a bridge. Batman uses his grappling hook to hoist him onto the bridge, which then smashes into the superstructure, toppling Bane into the fire. This raises the question of how the ocean liner would have gotten under the bridge normally, but as it grounds shortly after the liner had presumably drifted off the deep-water channel after the crew abandoned ship. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: There's an episode where Dexter worries so much about his short height after he wasn't allowed into a rollercoaster ride that he creates some Applied Phlebotinum to make himself taller. His height continues to increase until he's way taller than the average adult. When he's finally on the ride, the screen cuts to black right before his head hits the first clearance. | |
