What goes up must always come down. In this case, it comes down hard. This trope illustrates characters who can land with such an impact that it can break the ground beneath them. Remember though, to have enough force to break the ground, (often a concrete sidewalk or asphalt street) you also would have enough force to break your legs, or if you are falling from high enough, every bone in your body. Though given the mass of the human body even that isn't likely to be enough to break solid concrete. However, those who make a dramatic entrance this way are rarely human anyway.
