Any trap that simply leaves you sitting in a hole the entire game serves no purpose, and I can agree with this.
In Survival Kingdom, I don't know if the holes are intended, but I've been stuck in 9 multiple traps that have left me sitting in a hole the entire game. 3 of them being real traps, the other 6 being random holes in the ground. But, in the end they all make me sit there and wonder: "Should I just commit suicide? But no, I don't want to, I worked hard for all of this stuff."
Traps that kill you straight away are a lot more hilarious, anyway.
