Today's tropes is the No One Could Survive That
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoOneCouldSurviveThat

Almost universally uttered after a character (usually a hero but sometimes a villain) takes a wild leap into the unknown as a way to escape pursuit and otherwise-inevitable capture jumping off a high cliff or across a wide chasm, for instance. The pursuers then give up the chase, confident that their quarry has effectively committed suicide, and never go look for the body to make sure.

Of course, the moment someone says this, they've guaranteed that the person in question not only has survived, but will be coming back to spoil someone's day.

If it happens towards the end of a story, expect a Finger-Twitching Revival... after they've been buried under a ton of bricks.

Liquid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)

I feel like a lot of things people are posting are just "supernatural/powered character survives ridiculous scenario", and while Liquid is a genetically modified soldier he's still a 'normal' human and really shouldn't have survived a single thing that happens to him in MGS1, which is more impressive to me.
