Controlled chaos

Controlled Chaos is a subset of toon physics related to the fortunate results of falls, stumbles, and flights through the air.

Example
In the case shown here, Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo went flying through the air in a deflating rubber raft. Somehow, the raft ended up wrapped around the Pterodactyl Ghost, capturing him.

Conditions

 * Only characters with a high level of toon physics can do this. It may explain why the gang always insists on Shaggy and Scooby as bait for their traps. In the back of their minds, they may realize how powerful this effect is for the toony members of their group.
 * The gang must have done the footwork and nearly solved the case before this effect can be invoked. Fred Jones mistakenly tried it too early in Diamonds Are a Ghoul's Best Friend.
 * Earlier in the case, the same effect may cause humorous pratfalls, stumbling into witnessing a crime, or finding a clue.
 * Even more toony characters like Yogi Bear can invoke the effect with complete confidence, knowing that a potentially deadly fall from the top of a waterfall will instead bounce them to victory in a race with "perfect timing."
 * Another example, taking it to the limit, Yabba Doo got a bull to kick the shed in which they were trapped, expecting that the boards of the shed would fly into the air and rebuild themselves around the villains, trapping them instead.
