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.

To be "spike trapped" is to be caught in a situation that is painful, painfully avoidable, and painful to watch. If you witness someone get spike trapped, you are likely to facepalm in reaction.

Players of Dungeons and Dragons frequently must "check for traps" to avoid getting spike trapped, but you can be spike trapped by situations outside of gaming as well.

When getting spike trapped is painfully avoidable, you can see the situation coming, and yet you still somehow do nothing to stop it. This also makes the event painful to watch. Sometimes it catches you off with only a moment to react, which can make getting spike trapped particularly painful.
