We argue that bouncing branes occur naturally when there is more than one extra dimension. We consider three-branes embedded in space-times with a horizon and an isometry group SO(6). As soon as the brane angular momentum is large enough, a repulsive barrier prevents the branes from reaching the horizon. We illustrate this phenomenon with the case of D3-branes in an AdS5\ensuremath-Schwarzschild\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fiS5 background and asymptotically flat space-time.
