You didn’t overcome it, you spend some energy that the earth will eventually get back.

Unless you leave earth, gravity will eventually win.

Nobody trips, falls, and detonates a nuke.

People try to hide obvious mistakes they make. Nobody is going to go on a stage and scream "I ACCIDENTALLY DETONATED A NUKE"

Clearly the tripwires in your basement aren't hooked up to traps nearly as fun as they could be.

If you're hot enough and place a mirror below you blackbody radiation should do a pretty good job at preventing that. If you're not that hot you might need extra patience and without the mirror it might not be too effective.

Now that I think about it this might be considered as parts of oneself leaving earth though.
