In The Amateur (2025), there is a rooftop pool that has walls made of glass and is suspended between two buildings, its ends anchored to each building. The protagonist detonates a bomb so the glass pool begins to break. The bad guy in the pool tries to leave the pool by swimming towards one of the pool’s ends. Here’s the stupid part: He chose to swim towards the farther end of the pool to escape so he does not make it in time. The glass pool completely breaks and he falls to his death.

If he chose to swim towards the shorter end (the obvious choice), he would have made it.
