A trust exercise with many variants, all having the main goal in common of catching a deliberately falling person, to reaffirm the trust of the falling person in the person(s) that is catching/supposed to catch him/her. Used regularly in teen retreats, Christian youth meetings, small groups, ropes courses, etc. Featured in the movie Mean Girls during the "attitude makeover" scene, and in season 5 of HBO drama The Wire.
There are at least 3 kinds of trust falls
1.Two-Person Standing (also called the trust lean): Both people are standing, standing some distance away. The person in front (the faller) falls and the person behind (the spotter) catches them. Either the spotter can catch the faller by his/her armpits, or (if they are close enough) the spotter can put his/her hands on the faller's back to stop his/her fall.
2. Three-person kneeling: The faller stands, but there are two spotters behind the faller on one knee. The spotters catch the faller with their hands raised behind the faller's back.
3. Group: There are different variants of this, but the most known is this: The faller stands on the edge of an elevated plane, like a table, with a group of spotters standing behind him or her in 2 lines on either side. The spotters hold their arms outstretched as they catch the faller.

Popularized by Tosh.0. The act in which you randomly perform a trust fall on a unsuspecting victim. When one does this, they are to yell "TRUST FALL!" before falling. See who catches you and love the people who do!

This is when you are poised over a waiting hole and you yell “woooka wooka trust me babah” then thrust forward with all your strength. Your member lodged deeply within the hole the recipient will likely scream gasp or pass out briefly then be transported to nirvana where they will be instantly given orgasmic bliss and never again will they be subjects to complaints about the price of corn or the availability of oat derivatives used in the production of goat or duck semen.
Ed: I’m not ready for this
Joe: WOOKA WOOKA BABAH
ED: aaaaaaaarrerggghhh that hurts omg! Omg! I can’t …….. ooooh I’ve reached nirvana and suddenly I’m no longer concerned with my goat semen supply chain. Deeper! Deeper!
Joe: hell yes! Ima give you another penile trust fall when I reload my sac!
Ed: this is love.
Joe: WOOKA WOOKA BABAH
ED: aaaaaaaarrerggghhh that hurts omg! Omg! I can’t …….. ooooh I’ve reached nirvana and suddenly I’m no longer concerned with my goat semen supply chain. Deeper! Deeper!
Joe: hell yes! Ima give you another penile trust fall when I reload my sac!

A twist on the classic "trust fall." A sexual position where a woman rides a man while sitting on the edge of a couch or chair. She leans back with hands out... while the only thing keeping her from falling back is him holding her weight by her breasts.
*Do not attempt this at home if you have small breasts.
