In Bad Day at Cat Rock (a 1965 Tom and Jerry cartoon), Jerry ignites a stash of dynamite with a match and uses some of Tom's whiskers as a parachute.
Tom walks to a room and one of his matches ignites a stash of dynamite, which throws him out of the manhole and into the beam that Jerry is standing on. 
Jerry hits a second beam and then grabs onto Tom's fur. He uses the fur as a parachute down to a safe wood outcropping.
