A spike trap is a trap that can do extensive damage when triggered. They are often found in video games and in some adventuring movies.
To be "spike trapped" is to be caught in a situation that is both painful and painfully avoidable. Players of Dungeons and Dragons frequently must "check for traps" to avoid falling into a variety of traps, including spike traps.
The character Kevin McCallister in Home Alone is someone with extensive knowledge of triggered traps, including spike traps.
In adventuring games, spike traps can make dungeon delving difficult. In multiplayer games, such as PUBG, spike traps can be set to inflict harm on your enemy while protecting a particular area.
Spike traps should not be confused with other traps that are more annoying than they are harmful. For instance, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can use a Pitfall Seed to lay a trap that is similar in concept to a spike trap, though it is more of an inconvenience than a damage dealing trap.

"Dude, watch out for that spike trap!"
"I can't believe I didn't see that coming. It was such a spike trap. Ouch!"

Spike Spiegel is the main character of the hit anime series Cowboy Bebop, a member of the crew of the Bebop, pilot of the Swordfish mk. II and the baddest mothafucka alive. Spike is proficient in jeet kune do and is an excellent pilot and marksman. He works as a bounty hunter alongside his companions Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed, and Ein. Throughout the series, Spike remembers hints of his past, such as his arch-nemesis Vicious and his long-lost (and pretty damn hot) lover, Julia.
