The "official" name is the corner bug, some examples:

collapsing tile bug, corner bug, drop bug:

I can't believe how fast you got her to pop up in these! One or two jumps!
LOL!

It's called the 'Corner Bug', and I think I remember getting it to work in
TR III. Not sure about TR4 or Chronicles though. Jeff, does bugsy work in
all 5 of the classic TR's?

Yes, all of the bugs work in TR1->TR5, except that you can't
use the crouch variation of the corner bug in TR1 since it
doesn't have a crouch move.

The only special bug was in TR3, where the UPV could be used
to get Lara airborne and into fly bug mode

Thanks! I can't remember ever getting the corner jump to work in TR4 or
Chronicles. Gotta work on that :)

Example video, TR4, Temple of Karnak, a couple I happened to

LOL! Thanks for that Jeff. But, if you say it will work, then it WILL
cause you've already done it. I will watch the video cause there is
usually something done in them I haven't seen or tried already.

Cool! Yeah I just saw 2 instances of something neat. Lara makes a looooong
sweeping jump of about 100 people feet to the floor, and no health hit. She
makes a long drop from hanging by an edge to the floor, does a rolling about
face and no health hit. Or is it just the indicators are off? I
definitely want to get TR's working on this rig. I miss em!

In order to make "widescreen" videos, I cropped off the top and
bottom portions of the screen, so you don't see the health or
sprint bars in those videos. The first jump cost's about 1/3rd,
the second drop about 4/5ths (flashing health bar after drop).

It shows up in this non-cropped version of video:
