Even OSHA compliance is no guarantee of safety. A mook (usually) standing behind a railing, usually about waist-height, on an elevated surface who is shot during a firefight will invariably fall forward and flip over the railing, falling to his (presumed) demise, probably Wilhelm screaming on the way down. Conversely, someone standing in front of a railing will flip backward over the railing. This occurs even if the mook was shot from the direction of the railing with a weapon that normally throws people violently backwards. The phenomenon that causes this is called Ledge Gravity (not to be confused with Edge Gravity, which is basically the opposite), and specifies that people will tend to fall in the direction they'll fall furthest because there's more gravity that way. Although this technique gained prominence in Westerns with the railed balcony on the second story of every building in a dusty town, it can be found in any setting. If the ledge is high enough, a Disney Villain Death may occur. Not to be confused with people being killed when they land on a spiked railing. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

It occurs in the opening firefight in GoldenEye when several Russian soldiers are attacking Bond and Trevelyan as they plant explosives. One of the guards is shot as he crashes through the door to the staircase leading down to the floor, and his momentum causes him to crash through an oddly-placed gate in the railing...leading to open air. | |

In at least Hitman: Blood Money, pushing someone into a railing causes them to fall over it, and their death will be considered an accident by anyone discovering the body (no matter how many other "accidental" or overtly suspicious deaths may have occurred on the premises since your arrival). It kills them even when the rail is three feet off the ground. | |

No One Lives Forever: Very common, as elevated enemies all have the same railing animation (double over at the waist), even if they fall off a platform without a railing. Hilarious. There's also one instance of being saved by a railing kill: You're over a water tank with a shark and your catwalk is retracting. Some nearby henchmen on a railing above you start shooting. Shoot back, they topple into the water, the shark eats them and not you, letting you swim to safety. | |

Sunset Riders, being somewhere between an Affectionate Parody and straight depiction of the Spaghetti Western, has plenty of these. Any Mook who is shot from a window or other high place will slump over the rail or sill and blink out of existence or plummet over the rail to the ground in a classically over-dramatic fashion. Multiple bosses also have railing-kill animations due to them being located on high places. Their deaths are appropriately over-the-top. | |

In the James Bond movies: The elevator fight sequence in Diamonds Are Forever ends with Peter Franks being blinded by a fire extinguisher and falling to his death over a railing on Tiffany Case's floor. It occurs in the opening firefight in GoldenEye when several Russian soldiers are attacking Bond and Trevelyan as they plant explosives. One of the guards is shot as he crashes through the door to the staircase leading down to the floor, and his momentum causes him to crash through an oddly-placed gate in the railing...leading to open air. In Spectre, when Bond's cover is blown in the SPECTRE meeting, he throws a security guard who tries to apprehend him over the balcony to his death. |

Batman: Arkham Series gives you a few opportunities to do this with the Batclaw, which lets you grab an enemy with your grappling hook and yank him over the ledge. A few Predator challenges require you to do this, possibly to two mooks at once. There's also the Ledge Takedown, where Batman jumps up from the ledge he's hanging from, grabs a henchman, slams his head into the railing, and then flips him over it. A slight subversion in that, as per Batman's rule, this doesn't actually kill anybody, although it does dispatch them for more or less the same effect. | |

Dark Forces Saga: In Jedi Academy, one mission starts with Force-pushing a rock out of the way. The rock then flies right into someone who falls over a small ledge in this way. Similarly, Force-pushing someone over a railing. In Jedi Outcast, in the Nar Shadda level, shooting down a rooftop sniper will cause him to plummet from the roof down through a window on the building in front of him. The game's coding would deliberately make any enemy near a cliff tumble off of it. This can have amusing results when a stormtrooper is incredibly far away from a ledge, but seems to leap off of it anyways. |

Resident Evil: In Resident Evil 2, Ada knocks Annette over a railing, but doesn't kill her. Later she herself falls over a rail to her "death" after being shot by Annette. In the Resident Evil 2 (Remake), it's G1 Birkin that ends up taking a fall over a railing, after being damaged enough by either Leon or Claire. The railing he falls over; however, leads to a Bottomless Pit and his death turns out to be not so final. Resident Evil – Code: Veronica: It's possible to shove zombies off and over railings in a few places, killing them instantly. This is a great way to save ammo early in the game. Resident Evil 4: This will happen if you fire at an enemy on a ledge. You are expected to do it during a number of sequences as a shortcut way of dispatching enemies, although outside of these specific places it isn't always an instant kill. It's even more amusing with Militia mooks because of the "NOOOOOOOOO" they scream while falling. No combination of attacks will ever send an enemy over an actual railing, however, even when their momentum clearly should have them tumbling over it. Resident Evil 6: Pushing the enemy over a railing or off a ledge is one of the melee moves. |

In the Metal Gear series, it's possible in most of the games to just run up and toss an enemy over a railing to their death. Specific instances of it are: In Metal Gear Solid, there is a level with two elevators that Snake must take downward. As he descends, armed guards jump down to do battle with him. However, instead of engaging in the rather annoying task of dodging their bullets and shooting them all down, you can simply run up to them and punch/throw them over the edge of the railing for an instant kill. The only disadvantage is that you don't get the items they drop. In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty's Tanker chapter, there's a door in the hallway with the Raven action figure that opens to reveal a guard with his back to Snake, facing a railing. If shot, he'll fall over it. If you time it just right, he'll fall onto one of the patrolling guards below, killing him too. |

Mass Effect: This can happen, especially in the second game with its version of the Throw power. At high levels, if your enemy is near a railing and Throw hits them in the head or upper torso, there's a good chance they'll be smacked over and off the railing. Sometimes, even a high railing won't help if the Throw projectile manages to connect at an upwards angle, sending the victim flying in a high arc. It's been known to happen as a gratuitous finisher to That One Boss in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC in particular. There are even several places in the second game where enemies stand looking out over the edge with their back to the direction you're coming from. The only way it could be a more obvious set up would be if you overheard one of them commenting on how much it would suck to get thrown over the ledge. Can even happen to your player character if you're killed by an enemy that throws you around near a long drop. (Sometimes you'll fall straight off the level map into blackness.) | |

Fallout: The player can do this to enemies in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4 due to the Havok engines used for physics. Sometimes enemies, especially those hit with weapons with high Knock Back, will fall back over a railing... sometimes, quirks of the physics engine will cause dead enemies to fling themselves twenty feet horizontally and over conveniently low railings, even if you killed them with a BB gun. Given the mixture of seriousness and silliness inherent in the games and their setting, this isn't quite as immersion-breaking or out of place as it might seems. | |

Star Trek sees this happen quite a few times. It seems to happen preferably — although not exclusively — to Klingons. ("firefight" might mean actually "ship-to-ship battle" in this case…) When the Enterprise self-destructs and the bridge is exploding around him, one Klingon is thrown violently over the railing in the middle. This is what happens in space battles without using proper seat-belts. | |

Get Shorty: Invoked when two guys intend to kill a third by removing the bolts holding the railing over the balcony together, so that, if one leans on it, they'd fall about 40 feet to the ground and break their neck, making it look like an accident. Then the villain (the one who invoked the trope in the first place) falls victim to it himself after his bodyguard undergoes a Heel–Face Turn, pushing him over using Travolta himself (they were in the middle of framing his character for assault so it wouldn't look like they just killed him). | |

Shadow Complex: Used to a ridiculous extent. Every enemy you kill near a rail goes flying over it to his doom, Wilhelming the whole way down. As it is a 2.5D game, they often fall hilariously into hazards or off-screen. The best part?

The Elder Scrolls: Due to the conversion of overkill damage to momentum, any stealth/archer or destruction mage character in Oblivion or Skyrim is bound to get a railing kill or two as they make their way through the game. Also, anybody who uses Unrelenting Force heavily will do this a lot, since blasting somebody off a cliff or balcony is an easy kill. FUS RO DAH! | |

In Metal Gear Solid, there is a level with two elevators that Snake must take downward. As he descends, armed guards jump down to do battle with him. However, instead of engaging in the rather annoying task of dodging their bullets and shooting them all down, you can simply run up to them and punch/throw them over the edge of the railing for an instant kill. The only disadvantage is that you don't get the items they drop. | |

In Necromunda much of the terrain in the 1st and 2nd Editions of the game consisted of decaying and dilapidated catwalks, gangways, and bridges; all of which are decaying and unstable. Since characters could be pushed, shot, or otherwise induced to fall off these terrain features, there were rules for falling damage with falling more than one level generally resulting in instant death. While the basic rules for 3rd Edition set the game within tunnels and other close confines, the first Necromunda: Gang War supplement reintroduces rules for battling in three-dimensional environments including falling damage and rules for being knocked from terrain after suffering a hit. | |

Nobody gets killed, but in The Great Race they have a saloon fight so big, with so many people being punched, kicked, thrown, and kissed (it makes sense in context) off the balcony that the entire balcony and stairwell collapses (as well as most of the interior of the saloon). (Used to hilarious effect when the local villain — played by villain Larry Storch — exits an upper room and does a header onto the first level because the balcony is gone and he steps out onto nothing.) | |

In Tim Burton's Batman (1989), gangster Jack Napier fires at Batman, who is intervening in the botched Axis Chemicals job. Batman deflects the bullet with his armored gloves; Napier gets hit by the deflected bullet (which goes through his face and ostensibly results in the nerve damage to his mouth that causes his permanent "smile"), tumbles over the railing in the typical way (taking a lot of steps to do so), and falls into a vat of acid (which permanently bleaches his skin). One quick trip to a back-alley plastic surgeon later, and Jack's dead... but The Joker lives. | |

Hitman: In at least Hitman: Blood Money, pushing someone into a railing causes them to fall over it, and their death will be considered an accident by anyone discovering the body (no matter how many other "accidental" or overtly suspicious deaths may have occurred on the premises since your arrival). It kills them even when the rail is three feet off the ground. Hitman: Absolution: Should you choose to dispose of Doctor Valentine by spiking his hair-growth formula with fire paste, he'll hit a railing and plummet to his doom in the midst of his panicked running around. All three games in the World of Assassination Trilogy also allows you to throw someone over a railing, though this time they need to fall a decent amount to actually be killed by it, rather than knocked out. |

Turok: Due to the sheer power of guns in most games, it usually combos with Blown Across the Room and sometimes as a reflection shot. Case in point, using the "charged up" alt-fire of the shotgun against a lighter enemy like a mantid will fling him so hard against the railing behind him he'll rebound off that and fly over the one he was just leaning over like he hit a rubber bar. And that's if he didn't split in half on impact, or get blown clear over it by a higher angled shot. Happens a little less often in Unreal, too, especially with the vehicular weapons, shock rifle, and lightning sniper rifle. One specific Turok pistol can also do this for heavy enemies, but usually just splits the smaller ones in half or removes as much as a rocket would. (It's a VERY strong pistol.) All of these do fall more towards the 'mass' than 'penetration' side of things though. | |

In The Bourne Conspiracy, one of Jason's hand-to-hand environmental takedowns is to smash the head of his opponent off a railing, and the casually flip the mook over the railing. | |

In Doom, if any monster is killed at a certain height above the player then it will push their corpse toward the player to achieve this effect for monsters near ledges, though it does result in a few oddities like Lost Souls and Cacodemons being pulled toward the player as they die. | |

A common occurrence in all three Virtua Cop games. Sooner or later, you'll shoot a random Mook who will go over a railing and fall to their death below. Likely as a homage to 1980's and 1990's action movies. | |

In Barbara's sequence of What Remains of Edith Finch, Barbara knocks the hook killer off the railing. Subverted in that the killer does not actually die. | |

Happens in the Firefly episode "War Stories", when the mook whom Mal is fighting is shot repeatedly by several of Mal's crewmembers and plummets to his death. He bounces off at least two girders and gets bisected by a saw on his way down. | |

System Shock: Enemies in the original game tend to gravitate towards nearby ledges when killed (and can crush anybody they fall on), presumably to show off the physics engine. | |

Tomb Raider (2013): Can happen. Using the rope arrow on a mook standing on a balcony will cause Lara to yank him off the ledge (and in at least one case you can do this by pulling down the balcony itself). Mooks can also tumble over balconies when shot, and Stuff Blowing Up (grenades, making someone drop dynamite by shooting them before they can throw it, shooting Exploding Barrels, etc.) can fling them over ledges as well. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. Tends to happen with the safety rails surrounding Voyager's warp core (a crewman working as a Double Agent gets killed this way in "Investigations" when he falls into the core), or on the Bridge whenever Inertial Dampening is knocked out. The pilot episode has a variation though; an explosion goes off right behind a Red Shirt and sends his face flying straight into a bridge rail. | |

In Red Steel, shooting anyone in the general vicinity of a railing causes them to keel over it and die. | |

Mission: Impossible: Happens in The Teaser to "The Pawn". A dissident is shot by the authorities and pitches forward over a fire escape railing. Happens again in The Teaser to "The Golden Serpent (Part 1)". The leader of another IMF is hit in the back by a shuriken. He someone manages to twist in such a way that he falls over the railing and plunges into the river below. |

In Captive of the Red Vixen the only casualty during the Red Vixen's attack on Rolas' ship is a crewman who fell over a railing in engineering after being stunned. And she punishes the pirate responsible. | |

In Captain Future in Love by Allen Steele, our hero paralyzes a Starry Messenger terrorist as he's sabotaging a Space Elevator above Venus. Unfortunately the stunned man stumbles over a railing and falls into the atmosphere of Venus where he's burnt to a crisp. | |
