Man from Plymouth died stopping friend jumping from window

A man fell to his death as he tried to stop a friend from jumping from a window, an inquest has heard.

Thomas Bennett, 24, originally from Plymouth, tried to save the life of a 19-year-old in Honolulu.

The teenager was on a 14th storey window ledge at the University of Hawaii from which both men fell, leaving Mr Bennett dead and his friend seriously injured.

A coroner in Plymouth has concluded he died accidentally.

The pair are believed to have been attending a party when the incident happened in the early hours of 16 August.

According to witnesses, they were holding on to a glass pane for support when it shattered, causing both of them to plummet to the ground.

Mr Bennett was born in the UK but was brought up in the US, in Philadelphia, where he lived for 14 years.

Three years ago he moved to Hawaii, where he worked as a landscaper.

His funeral was held in Plymouth, where his mother still lives.

He is believed to have been attending the party of a friend, Ted Guillory, at the Hale Wainani dormitory on 16 August shortly before the start of the new university term.

‘Under great pressure’

Coroner Ian Arrow called Mr Bennett a «brave and noble» man and recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Speaking after the inquest his mother said she had forgiven the 19-year-old whose attempt to jump led to the fall.

Lesley Heard, 51, from Plymouth, said: «We have messaged each other several times but I felt it was really important to tell him that I knew it was an accident, that he was under great pressure at the time and I didn’t blame him.»

Along with his mother Mr Bennett leaves behind his father Chris and siblings Annaliese, Emily, Ross and Isabelle.

Super Window Jump

Edit Locked

Advertisement:

The modern spin on the Sheet of Glass. Simply put, to get to or from the scene in a hurry, they jump through a window; a closed window. The shards of glass flying everywhere make it very dramatic.

Supernatural beings (especially vampires) love doing this. Humans can do it too but usually have the benefit of a motorcycle taking the impact. Ninjas, certain dark superheroes, and Special Forces do it via skylights from the ceiling, the latter normally using rope.

The power of the supernatural, body armor, being Made of Iron or Nigh Invulnerable, or dramatic entrance/exit is required to prevent one’s skin from being torn to ribbons by this maneuver. Wrapping a cape or long jacket around yourself in a tumble helps too. In television and film, this visual effect is achieved thanks to using carefully crystallized sugar to stand in for glass. Needless to say, trying this with a real-life window can get you killed, since not only is non-Hollywood window glass tougher than you’d think, there’s also all the lacerations you’ll get from large shards, no matter what protective clothing you may be wearing — Don’t Try This at Home.

Truly cool people never need to use the door. May cause an Impact Silhouette. See also Soft Glass, compare Dangerous Windows. Compare Fast-Roping. Contrast Destination Defenestration, where someone is thrown through a window against their own will. A sub-trope of No Escape but Down (when used to exit the scene) or Big Entrance (when used to enter it). Not necessarily related to The Window or the Stairs, despite the name.

Examples:

• In The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer, the scene described below in Literature is quite dramatic. During Moff Potter’s murder trial, Tom finally confesses to witnessing Injun Joe commit the murder. The villain tries to kill Tom, but is forced to flee by the sheriff and he leaps through the courthouse window, in slow-motion, with nary a scratch. But then, Injun Joe is pretty strong, not to mention huge. . And therefore invulnerable.
• In Angel Beats! this happens twice in the first episode. It’s more played for laughs since the characters didn’t exactly do it on purpose. Or with a secure landing.
• In the CG-animated Appleseed, several cyborgs bust through the stained glass windows of a church to surround Deunan. In the sequel film, Briareos does it. Twice.
• An immortal leaps out a window in Baccano!! to escape the one thing that can truly kill him.
• Berserk‘s Skull Knight does this to a solar eclipse when he rides in to save Guts and Casca during the Eclipse.
• Sebastian and Grell in episode 17 of Black Butler, through stained glass, to rescue Ciel.
• Suzaku does this through stained glass in episode 16 of Code Geass — as per Lelouch’s plan, of course, since Suzaku isn’t that flashy.
• In the Cowboy Bebop Movie, Spike jumps through a train window to get to the villain. He shoots the window first, so it’ll shatter easily, and is apparently protected from injury by just being that badass.
• In a manga chapter in Doraemon, the titular character does this at the sight of a mouse.
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Having a cyborg body helps.
• In their climatic fight scene in Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino Pinocchio throws Triela through a (closed) window, only to have her smash through another window after him just moments later.
• Mori the Ninja Maid does this in Haruhi-chan. Just for this trope, she and her butler partner get out a trampoline so that she can do this on the second floor of the school. «I’m just a passing maid!» Kyon: LIAR! Given her later abilities, she probably didn’t need the trampoline.
• In Hayate the Combat Butler, Hayate jumps through (or is thrown through) windows without any protection, as just one of his near-superhuman abilities. Klaus does this later on, as well, but he was spoofingan immortal vampire at the time.
• America from Hetalia: Axis Powers did this twice in episode 13 of the fifth season. The first time he ended up with a shard of glass stuck in his forehead, although he was uninjured the second time. When a little kid asked him why he went through the window, he claimed it was because he had just gotten back from Hollywood.
• In the first episode of K— before the opening, even — Misaki Yata does this into a gangster’s hotel suite, on his skateboard, from the roof of the building across the street, establishing early on his views on the idea of practicality vs. awesome.
• Lupin III has many characters doing variations on it. The titular thief has bailed through several windows, open and closed alike, in the course of his career. Lupin III (Red Jacket) had Jigen do it just before shooting down a helicopter with a revolver in the first opening sequence.
• Subaru of Lyrical Nanoha jumps through glass windows at times, but it is eventually justified since she’s revealed to be a cyborg .
• Phantom Renegade from Medabots pulls this off occasionally.
• In the first episode of Murder Princess, a group of bounty hunters burst through a palace window on a motorcycle with balls of fire for wheels.
• Nichijou — When Mio sees her crush walking arm-in-arm with another girl, the first thing she does is jump headlong out the window and start running. And that’s only the beginning.
• In the anime version of Ouran High School Host Club Nekozawa jumps through a second story window to save his little sister. Just from a cat, but it was still cool.
• In the PandoraHearts anime, the Baskervilles make their first appearance by jumping through the windows in the church where Oz is having his coming-of-age ceremony. Given the Baskervilles’ near-invulnerability to physical injuries , it makes sense that they are not shown to be injured as a result of this.
• Used totally straight in the Princess Tutu episode «Black Shoes», when Fakir jumps through a window to face the Dark Magical Girl—and then proceeds to pick up a glass shard from the window to use as a weapon. He has no powers that would protect him from the glass, and he’s only wearing his school uniform. he’s just fond of being very dramatic and badass.
• B-Ko smashes a window in the palace section of the alien ship in Project A-ko to get in. She’s protected by her special (and skimpy) armour but somehow C-Ko, sitting motionless in the room, is unsliced.
• The various MADMs from Ranma ½ would indulge in this from time to time, but there was a subversion early in the story: after being tossed out an open (third-story) window, Ranma bounces back up from a tree branch to get back inside. only to smack solidly on the pane of glass when Akane closes the window on him.
• Anita does this to rescue Nenene in R.O.D the TV, she does, however, cut a little «X» in the glass before impact.
• In Saint Seiya, when Seiya is attacked by Shaina at his hospital room, he jumps through the window to escape from her, though it’s somewhat downplayed due to the fact that the window is covered by curtains. Shaina quickly follows him shattering the remaining glass.
• Spoofed in the «New Year’s Cleaning» episode of Sgt. Frog, where Keroro does a Super Window Jump into the bathroom to tell Natsumi she’s not cleaning the bathtub properly. only to get knocked back out the window for getting broken glass all over the floor.
  • In one episode, Keroro is watching a movie where a hero jumps through a window into the villains’ lair. He actually thought it was open, though.
• Zelgadis in Slayers does this as his stylish return to the series, also providing some much-needed reinforcements for the heroes.
• Matsuri busts through a stained-glass window early on in Sola, but she’s immortal, so whatever.
• In Sumomo Mo Momo Mo, Uma Kamen bursts through a stained glass window in an outfit FAR too small to avoid the death of a thousand razors. None of the debris even reaches the ground to harm the non-martial artists in the wedding ceremony.
• In Tokyo Shinobi Squad, shinobi frequently burst through windows when they’re in a hurry, particularly when they’re trying to assassinate someone.
• Abel Nightroad, from Trinity Blood does this twice, and even says something about it. «This is becoming something of a habit for me, it seems.
• Otcho in 20th Century Boys does a very impressive one, not in the least because he’s over 55 years old.
• In an early episode of You Are Being Summoned, Azazel, a GonkNEET does this in an attempt to escape Akutabe. It goes as well as you’d expect.
• Seto Kaiba did this once in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime; so did Edo Phoenix in GX.

  • Like his mentor, Robin usually plays this one straight, but in one of the last issues of his own comic, the Boy Wonder tackles someone through a large window, and the internal monologue mentions, «I’m going to be picking glass out of my hair all night. Remind me why I just wear a domino mask again?» This becomes a «Funny Aneurysm» Moment later on, when half of his head is horribly burned in an explosion because of the lack of protection.
  • Batgirl Year One: In the second issue, Killer Moth jumps out of a window to escape from Batgirl.
• Lampshaded by Shiva in an issue of Birds of Prey when Cheshire jumps out of a window and Black Canary jumps out after her.

  • In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World; John and George, and about half the patrons of the Border Crossroads Inn, escape the hideous stench of the overflowing toilets (created by John) by going out the windows (they’re only on the second floor, but still) rather than fighting their way through the crowds trying to use the elevators or stairs.

  • The skylight variation is used in Kyon: Big Damn Hero when Kyon interrupts a meeting whilst holding a spy.
  • L does this at one point in Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami. It is completely insane.
  • Averted in 13 Sins. Elliot actually throws a chair through the window of the police station to smash out the glass before jumping.
  • Played straight in The Addams Family, when Gomez comes back to the house to rescue Morticia. Justified in that, well, if you can survive electrocution and consider torture foreplay, a little glass isn’t gonna be much of an issue.
  • In Aliens, after Hudson puts some holes into the pane to soften it up, Hicks jumps through the glass window (he’s wearing body armor that would protect him from cut glass), into the room where Newt and Ripley are trapped and starts wrestling with a facehugger. A very badass moment.

  • The 1979 Universal version of Dracula has Mina, now undead (Lucy and her roles were switched in this film) escaping from an insane asylum like this after feeding on a baby and being discovered by the horrified mother.
  • The Fly (1986) features a rare instance of someone entering a building through this way, specifically the Brundlefly crashing into a clinic to abduct Veronica. It comes out of nowhere too, making it a very literal Jump Scare.
  • Performed by Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra during the last parts of the Paris chase.
  • The Good, the Bad and the Ugly starts off with one. The introduction of Tuco (the ugly) consists of him crashing through a window to get outside after the building he’s hiding in gets stormed by his enemies. In this case, he couldn’t use the door because said enemies were blocking it.
  • Miss Piggy via motorcycle in The Great Muppet Caper.

  • Taken Up to Eleven in The WesternThe Long Riders (1980). An outlaw gang are trapped in a town’s main street by a posse, so they escape by riding their horses through the windows of a store, then out another set of windows at the back.

    • Deconstructed again in The Matrix Reloaded. Bane and Malachi jump through a skylight simultaneously. Even though they have shades on, Bane waits until the glass has settled before looking back up.
  • Max Manus. Max tries to escape from the Gestapo by jumping out the window. Reality Ensues and he ends up in hospital instead.

  • Done by the Bug to effect a dramatic escape in Men in Black.

    • Flying glass was also somewhat less of a concern than the cuckolded husband mere seconds from bursting in and stabbing them a dozen times each with a pair of scissors.

  • In A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Kristen dives through the closed window of her bedroom to escape Freddy. Justified as it is a dream and she has mad acrobatic skills in her dreams.
  • Subverted in The Parole Officer, when a character attempts to escape from a police officer in the bank he has just robbed by swinging out through a window, only to bounce off of it. He picks himself off the floor and sheepishly says «toughened glass» to which the officer replies «Its a bank!».
  • Parodied in Polar when a stoner tries jumping through the window to escape hitmen only to bounce off the glass. After the hit team kill him and leave, the window breaks.

  • Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Alice, into the church, with the motorcycle. Slightly justified in that Alice is supposed to have weird uber-kick-ass powers.
  • The trailer for the remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show shows Eddie riding his motorcycle through a window.
  • Done to humorous effect in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And Scott reaches back through the open window to grab his coat. The scene alone is worth price of admission.

    • Farley Claymore later ends up diving through a window overlooking the lobby (three floors up) while trying to flee from the Shadow, notably after the Shadow used his powers to make him believe that it really was an exit. Well, at least the glass isn’t gonna be an issue for long.
  • Sheitan: The boys flee the house and pile into Ladj’s car. However, while Ladj is trying to start it, the enraged Joseph (who they thought they had left unconscious inside) jumps through one of the ground floor windows—curtains, glass and all—and comes charging towards them.
  • Kane escapes from the Devil’s Reaper by jumping through a stained glass window in Solomon Kane.
  • The eponymous character in Spawn. Justified with his costume and cape acting as armor and Spawn being undead and thus unharmed even by bullets. That, and the fact that the movie hardly takes itself seriously.
  • Prince Septimus does this during his High-Dive Escape in Stardust.
  • Star Trek Into Darkness: Harrison crashes through a large glass window while fleeing from Spock, and gives it about as much attention as the air he was running through a moment before. Justified in that his genetic engineering makes him Nigh-Invulnerable .
  • Star Wars: In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan jumps through the window to grab the killer-bug carrying droid. (Although, as the Darths & Droidsannotation points out, you’d expect Anakin to do this instead of him.)

  • In Swashbuckler, Lynch jumps through the skylight at the brothel—glass and all—in order to rescue Nick and Jane from the soldiers.

  • Artemis Fowl: Butler does something similar when he crashes through a (supposedly) impenetrable glass door.
  • Interestingly, in light of the notes on vampires above, Dracula, in the Bram Stoker novel of the same name, only does this once despite his preference for windows above doors. In other instances, he either slides into cracks between the window and frame, or he has something else break the glass for him. In the example of this trope, however, it’s daytime and he can’t change forms, but is still tough enough to just leap through the pane.

Vin, whose Mistborn powers include Not Quite Flight and shooting coins, enters by first piecing the glass with a series of coins, then crashing through the weakened section. The scene is written from the perspective of one of the villains, who first sees a single coin shoot through the glass and roll across the floor, then more coins, then POW. Brandon Sanderson knows how to write awesome.
  • In The Sour Lemon Score, Parker escapes from George Uhl’s ambush by diving through the farmhouse window when Uhl shoots Bernie Weiss. The house is so dilapidated that he takes most of the most of the window frame with him.
  • Rachel Griffin: Used in The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin: the eponymous Rachel fails to open a window with magic and is forced to crash through it on her Flying Broomstick. The result is not described directly, but Rachel has difficulty persuading the next person she talks to that I Can Still Fight!.
  • Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Was Not: In «The Locked Cell Murder», Amelia Van Helsing enters the story by leaping through the skylight of a warehouse to save Holmes from a gang of cultists.
  • Skulduggery Pleasant does this all the time. Museums, private houses, villas, evil lair. no window is safe. His lack of any wounds is justified, as he’s a walking skeleton.
  • The Stainless Steel Rat’s Revenge. The Stainless Steel Rat does this the first time he’s captured by the Grey Men. Only to find their leader has posted two guards outside the window.
  • Star Wars Legends: Allegiance has Mara Jade performing this trope, though she uses fancy Force-assisted acrobatics to cut a round hole before she actually hits it. She does this to both a stone wall and a window, and notes that the window was much easier.
  • The Thinking Machine: Averted in «The Ghost Woman». A cracksman jumps through a closed windows anfd vanishes into the night. However, Van Dusen notes the amount the amount of blood on the broken glass, and states that one cannot crash through a closed window and fall 20 ft. to the ground without sustaining serious lacerations and injuries. He reasons the man would have had to seek medical attention, which is how he locates him.
  • A 24 Day 8 episode deconstructed this; a suicide bomber broke out of the window when he was surrounded by Jack Bauer and his crew, but ended up limping as he walks into the oxygen chamber.
  • In The Adventures of Superman, George Reeves as the title character wouldn’t bother finding a window — he’d just break through a wall. (One, he’s Superman, dammit — and two, foam and papier mache debris was cheaper and safer than stunt glass.)
  • Agent Carter has a tragic variation in the first season. Chief Dooley, trapped into a thermal suit that is building up toward an explosion, jumps out a window to avoid taking anybody else with him. He shoots the window first to weaken it, and injuries from the crash aren’t an issue at this point.
  • Arrow

    • Combined with Outrun the Fireball in «Canaries» when Oliver and Roy do this to escape from a bomber by leaping through his apartment windows just after he presses the detonator.
  • The A-Team does this frequently. Usually by Murdock. One specific example occurs in «Say It With Bullets», where, during the raid on one of the villains’ hideout, Hannibal and B.A. jump through the window to go after the bad guys. As usual for television, shards of glass fly everywhere, but they’re not hurt at all.
  • Happens in the finale of Birds of Prey (2002) when Barbara and Dinah swing into their villain-occupied headquarters through the gigantic clock tower window . Keep in mind Barbara is paraplegic.

  • In Danger 5, this is done Once per Episode by no one other than Hitler. The Danger 5 team, having fought their way through another slew of improbably freakish bad guys, will confront Hitler only for him to escape through the nearest window. Head first. Sometimes while he’s duel-wielding machine guns. And in a Running Gag, it’s always Stock Footage from the first time he does this. Our heroes only succeed in killing him (or so they think) when they finally corner Hitler in an undersea base which doesn’t have windows. In Season 2 this is replaced by a Running Gag where they keep crashing through the walls of the cheap sets.
  • Happens in one episode of Doc Martin when a young girl decides to jump off a moving car into a store window because she’s uncontrollably hyperactived due to her mom having been giving her perscription drugs that were completely inappropriate for a child. The girl is very badly injured from this and Martin has a tough time treating her injuries to keep her alive long enough for an ambulance to arrive and get her to the hospital.
  • Doctor Who:
    • «The Android Invasion»: The Fourth Doctor opens the door of a UNIT office to find his Evil KnockoffRobot Me, slams the door shut, and then leaps sideways through the window down onto the carpark storeys below.
    • «The Seeds of Doom»: The Fourth Doctor crashes straight down through a ceiling skylight to ambush the enemies in the room, defeating them all in the confusion with only his bare hands, retrieving someone’s gun, pointing it at the room and announcing «I win.»
    • «The Girl in the Fireplace»: The Tenth Doctor crashes through a window — on a horse, no less. Technically it was part Time Portal, part mirror, but 100% awesome!
    • «The End of Time»: The Tenth Doctor throws himself through a skylight. Only that time it actually hurt. And was horrible.
    • «Closing Time»: The Doctor comes to rescue Craig from the Cybermat by leaping through a closed glass door.
    • «Heaven Sent»: The Twelfth Doctor jumps out of a window and falls from a great height into the sea. The impact is enough to make him lose consciousness, but he isn’t otherwise injured. He’d also thrown a chair out the window beforehand, which in addition to letting him calculate how long he has to fall while in midair, also presumably took enough of the glass with it that he could just dive through.
  • Ray Kowalski on Due South did this on a motorcycle once.
  • In Father Ted, Father Jack repeatedly exits the parochial house by jumping through the window, whether it’s fleeing in terror from a nun or just because he can’t be bothered to use the door. Subverted when they install the Plexiglass. The window remains undamaged as Jack bounces to the floor.
  • Claire Bennett does this on Heroes to get away from the Petrelli clan. And honestly, if Mama Petrelli cornered me in my real father’s office, and he were on her side, and I knew I’d regenerate from any wounds I suffered anyway, I’d jump out a 10-story window, too.
  • Done a couple of times in Highlander: the Series. It helps when you know you’re immortal and will heal within minutes.
    • Slan Quince both enters and leaves this way when he first introduces himself to Duncan. (Complete with rubber sword blade hilariously boinging around in the slow-mo exit after hitting the window frame.)
    • Richie Ryan escapes out a second-story warehouse window on a motorcycle.
  • In The IT Crowd, Denholm Renholm nonchalantly steps out of a thirtieth-floor window during a board meeting to off himself when some «irregularities in the pension fund» are exposed.

    • Tori Amos executes a particularly random one a few seconds into the music video for «Pretty Good Year,» jumping into a building. The scene replays in reverse at the end. Chalk it up to the ‘supernatural creature’ category.

    • Assassin’s Creed: Revelations: Altaïr crashes through the big window behind the Mentor’s chair during his escape from Masyaf. It’s a bit of a Despair Event Horizon since he’s forced to leave the castle he called home in the hands of the Big Bad, not to mention the fact that he’s leaving his wife’s corpse in the garden .
    • Used as one of many possible takedowns in the Batman: Arkham Series.
    • Call of Duty: Black Ops: Double points here.
      • Once during the campaign, while zip-lining INTO a window.
      • In multi-player, diving through a window into a prone position, then offing an opponent within 2 seconds or so will get you a gamerscore achievement.
    • In Chrono Cross, Serge in Lynx form and co. smash through another stained glass window to escape a Nigh-Invulnerable robot.
    • Marle in Chrono Trigger does this (in slow motion) to rescue her father on trial. Bonus points, though a stained glass window.
    • Doable in Command & Conquer: Renegade. Most windows that are big enough to jump through are breakable, which means if you get pinned down in the upper floors of that Hand of Nod you can make a hasty exit through the window.
    • The first Crash Bandicoot pulls one of these off during its minimal backstory.
    • Possible in Deus Ex, but only with ceiling glass, and unless you have something soft to break your fall or the right augments it will likely result in broken legs.Impossible to do with windows, as they have to be shot or otherwise broken before making the jump.
      • Also doable in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, again only with ceiling glass, and only in one spot while infiltrating the port in Hengsha. You do need augments to avoid killing yourself in the process, but it can be done completely stealthy (by activating your cloak before breaking the glass).

    • Ensemble Stars! has Shu falling in Love at First Sight with Nazuna and jumping from a second-storey window to talk to him.
    • Hilarious example in Fate/stay night: in the Heaven’s Feel path, Shirou and Kotomine have to quickly escape from a castle. Kotomine jumps out the window, and Shirou, after a moment’s hesitation, follows. Problem is: they’re on the eighth floor, and Kotomine is a very experienced magus who knows how to soften his landing. Shirou barely avoids crippling physical damage (he notes it’s a miracle he didn’t break anything), and afterward all his companions are staring in wonder at what a colossal idiot he is.
    • Lampshade hung in Final Fantasy Legend II: The main character’s father always leaves buildings through windows, leaving the other characters wondering aloud what the point is.
    • Half-Life: a scientist does this rather awesomely, only to die moments later. This is commented on in Freeman’s Mind.
      • It’s entirely possible he’ll run toward you, and even if he doesn’t, you can save him by killing the zombies before they can hit him.

    • In Hatoful Boyfriend, AnghelHigure seems to jump through his school’s windows at least once a week.
    • The intro to Jak X: Combat Racing has Jak drive through an aquarium and into a bar in order to rescue Daxter.

    • The Matrix: Path of Neo has a few examples. Notably, the SWAT teams on the skylight version, and Neo doing a normal window version to try and save somebody, being Made of Iron Neo doesn’t take any damage.
    • Done with Bullet Time at the beginning of Max Payne 3‘s second level.
    • Played to the hilt in Mirror’s Edge, where Faith goes through windows just like she goes through doors: with a hefty kick or shoulder charge and nary a pause. This is a Dystopia with a giant nanny state and a very overworked janitorial staff, so presumably safety glass has been mandated by law »everywhere».
    • Nidhogg has the Wilds stage, which features buildings with glass windows that a player can break and/or dive kick out of.
    • In Octogeddon, the terrified humans escape the buildings attacked by Octogeddon this way. Amazingly, despite jumping from the highest floors of six- or ten-story buildings, they do not splatter on the ground — they land perfectly safely and run away as his they jumped from the lowest step of a staircase.
    • Averted with PAYDAY: The Heist. SWAT will usually use explosives to destroy windows before rappelling inside. You can’t jump through a glass window yourself; you have to shoot out the glass first.
    • Persona 5: At the end of The Caper that serves as the game’s Action Prologue, the protagonist escapes the casino he’s robbing by jumping straight through a multi-story window and landing unscathed several stories below. His Mission Control calls him out for showing off and implies the only reason he did it was because it was «a stylish way to end a job.» After all, he was trying to be caught.
    • Possible by crouch-jumping through a window in Postal 2, though realistically you take a bit of damage. The police also tend to get very perturbed when you do it around them.
    • Prince of Persia:

      • Level 4 of Prince of Persia had a Super Mirror Jump, which is how the Prince’s Living Shadow gets away from him.
    • The NES game Rescue: The Embassy Mission had your rescue operatives do this, as shown on the cover.
    • In Resident Evil 4, Leon is capable of jumping through windows without injury, simply by covering his face, which is good, because he tends to exit buildings this way. He also almost never climbs down a ladder.
      • Leon really takes it to the extreme in this game. Almost any window you can walk up to can be leapt through with no consequence (and thanks to the giant flashing button on the screen, it’s encouraged). Leave a house through the door? NEVER; OUT THE SECOND FLOOR WINDOW! Climb down a ladder in the three story tower? NO, JUST JUMP STRAIGHT DOWN! It’s worth noting you can break a window and still jump through it, but it often just has Leon hop over the windowsill instead of diving through it.
      • Hell, even Ada, who’s wearing a skin-bearing qipao, can pull it off exactly like Leon, without getting a scratch.
    • In Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, Steve jumps through a window in Bullet Time, a Shout-Out to the opening of The Matrix, to save Claire from a Bandersnatch.

    • The original Syphon Filter has Logan jump through the Expo Center lobby’s glass ceiling 50 feet up. He jumps through another window to enter Rhoemer’s cathedral stronghold.
    • Team Fortress 2: This is Saxton Hale’s preferred way of entry. To top it all off, he manages to succeed doing this while jumping from a plane without a parachute!
    • The eternally cheerful and friendly Papyrus in Undertale tries to encourage the protagonist to make friends with his friends, including the Hot-BloodedHero Antagonist Undyne. His idea of leaving the two of them alone to get acquainted is to blatantlylie aboutneeding to use the bathroom (not only do monsters generally not have that function note Specifically, monster food is made of magic and is digested completely, leaving nothing to, ah, pass through. If a monster were to eat human food, that would be different, but there’s none of that available in the Underground anyway. , Papyrus is a skeleton) and then take a flying leap out the window, leaving glass shards in the house. If you look out of the window, Undyne just mentions that Papyrus usually nails the landing. so not only does Papyrus regularly do this, apparently this time he failed in some unseen but comical manner.
    • Averted in the old click and drag game Uninvited, any attempt to break the windows to get out of the haunted house lead to you bleeding to death; no you can’t clear the shards with a chair or something; it just doesn’t work.
    • In WarioWareGold, besides 5-Volt smashing the window with her fist to look at 9-Volt in Sneaky Gamer, one of the things that 5-Volt has that never appeared in Game & Wario was, after a Scare Chord, doing this to enter 9-Volt’s room. It’s so quick, it can catch the player off guard if they are not prepared for this.
    • All units in XCOM: Enemy Unknown can, and will, bash their way through glass windows when they need to get to point B. Justified, as your XCOM soldiers are wearing body armor (and later Power Armor), the aliens are rather callous towards their infantry and most are strong enough anyway, and any surviving civilians during Terror missions are probably desperate/terrified enough that they won’t care about the potential injuries.
      • Taken Up to Eleven in XCOM 2, which records every single broken window and kicked-in door across all games and posts the total to the official website. As of June 2017, the total cost of repair stands at nearly $14 trillion for 21 million broken windows, amongst other damages.
    • In The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, Dr. McNinja gets the jump on some thugs by entering the warehouse via the skylight. This comes immediately after he asks himself «What would Batman do?»
      • A few pages later, Donald McBonald pulls one.
    • The creator of Antics said «if I ever draw a window, you better believe something is about to bust through it».
    • Dan and Mab’s Furry Adventures: Dan did this off-panel.
    • Dominic Deegan ends up doing one here. Sorry, haters, but it’s just an Imagine Spot; he’s not leaping to his death.
    • Ellen tries this in El Goonish Shive shortly after her creation and subsequent Cloning Blues, with added coolness from making her duplicate (or original?) throw her at the window. The coolness factor is negated when the window lacks any glass. And is a story up. THUMP.
    • Byron in Guilded Age does this early in the story when the group comes to rescue Frigg. In his internal monologue, he mentions it’s a good way to shake your opponents and build up your own confidence.
    • In Homestuck, Roxy’s favorite means of transportation involves jumping through portal windows, though she tends to break them first. Dirk however, in the «[S] Dirk: Synchronize» animation, does several bona fide breakings through windows on his rocket board.
    • Scarlet from I’m the Grim Reaper does so twice. The first time is heavily justified in that Brook already ripped two of her limbs off. She needed to escape fast and didn’t really have anything to lose by falling a few stories.
    • Plasma-Man has done this at leasttwice in The Incredible and Awe-Inspiring Serial Adventures of the Amazing Plasma-Man.
    • Sal Walters, one of the alien-enhanced abductees in It’s Walky! jumps in and out through upper story windows more often than not, leading comments from her boyfriend about all the broken glass. The Big Bad eventually gets to cause an excellent anticlimactic moment with Sal-proofed windows. (She then promptly bursts through the floor, but it was a good try.)
    • Invoked in thisLeast I Could Do strip . and immediately subverted in the next one.
    • In Magick Chicks, Tiffany pulls one on a glass door and is promptly informed that there was a doorbell.
    • Subverted in Megatokyo: «Great Teacher Largo» jumps through a window to escape Ping, and badly hurts his leg. It later bites him in the rear in a DDR match.
      • Of course, he does heal astonishingly fast.
    • In The Order of the Stick, this is one of the special abilities of the Dashing Swordsman prestige class, which is demonstrated right after Elan takes a level in it.
      • The trope is discussed in this strip, where Elan explains that Dashing Swordsmen are immune to damage caused by broken glass for precisely this reason.
      • This happens again, but it’s the third dramatic entrance on the whole page. (It’s pointed out that There Was a Door, but it wouldn’t have made for a suitably Big Entrance).
      • Elan’s mentor in Dashing Swordsmanship evidently performed this to enter a dentist’s office. Luckily for the dentist, the window was left glass-free, reducing cleanup and replacement expenses.
      • Happens to not just Elan, but to Belkar and Miko too. Given that they’re already bloodied from their fight, it’s impossible to tell whether any of the wounds are from the broken glass. And of course, being moderately-high level D&D-based characters, they’re explicitly far more durable than real-life humans.
    • Panthera uses this here when the Ovid building is collapsing because of Oosterhuis and they all need to get out immediately.
    • In The Rifters it’s not very obvious, but this is how Jo gets into Carnby’s tower (see here)
    • In Stand Still, Stay Silent, Emil decides to set a building on fire upon escaping it along with Sigrun after finding out it’s troll-infested, but in the heat of the moment forgets that Lalli may still be in it. Lalli escapes via doing this from a 2nd floor window. Lalli is later seen getting small glass shards out of his clothes.
    • In Stick Man Stick Man, a Corrupt Corporate Executivepulls one to escape. The height aspect is Lampshaded.
    • In xkcd, this is the logical conclusion to worrying about relationships.
    • Parodied in Code MENT. When Lelouch jumps out of a second story window, a corresponding clip from Resident Evil 4 plays as a sort of «stunt double».
    • One DarwinAward was given to a banker who ran into a window to show how strong it was. When the window was installed on a skyscraper. However, it was subverted in that the window didn’t break, the frame holding it did.
    • Homestar Runner features its own take on this, with Strong Bad’s action hero alter ego Dangeresque, who often goes out of his way to make this exit (preceded by his Catchphrase «Looks like I’m gonna have to jump!»)
    • The first and second seasons of International Moron Patrol featured Roger doing this. then falling flat on his face.
    • The Nostalgia Critic ran off-screen and did this upon learning that the kid in Jingle All the Way was played by Jake Lloyd, the same actor as Anakin «Annie» Skywalker:
    • Batman does this regularly in Batman: The Animated Series.
      • Despite the Joker knowing enough about the silliness, he does a super window jump (from a considerable height) of his own in Mask of the Phantasm. But then again he IS aware of his own Joker Immunity.
    • Terry naturally follows suit in Batman Beyond.
      

      Video Example(s):
