If you are stuck at some terrible cliff-hanger and your not sure how to rescue your character, throw them a stroke of tremendous luck. It keeps the story moving. Just be sure to go back and add some tiny clue that sets it up. If your suicide jumper is going to land in a random trash truck, it might be good if they pass a sign on the way to the building that says "Dumpster Driver Union Convention This Way." Or make it all the punchline of a joke, as the black dude does in _Better Of Dead_ when John Cusack's character falls into a garbage truck. He says, "Now that's a shame, throwing a way a perfectly good white boy like that."
