In the following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game Black castles-by-hand on the Queenside, but his King does not find safety. Worse, his Queen also comes under fire.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
Black quickly develops a piece, but the Bishop on e6 and the Knight on g6 encourage White's f2-f4, with a forking threat.
12.O-O Kd7
Not as risky as it looks.
13.f4 Bc4 14.Re1 Rae8 15.e5 dxe5 16.dxe5 Ba6
Black avoids the fork that would come with Qd4+, winning a piece, but 16...Kc8 would have been safer.
17.Rd1+ Kc8 18.Qxa7
Returning the sacrificed piece, but this does not stop White. There was nothing wrong with 18...Nd7.
19.exf6 gxf6 20.Bd2
White is a solid 2 pawns up.
20...Qb4
This is a very risky move, as it is vulnerable to 21.Nd5!?
21.Qa8+
White will make the suggested move soon enough.
21...Kc7 22.Qxe8 Rxe8 23.Nd5+ cxd5 24.Bxb4
White is up the exchange.
24...Nxf4 25.c4 dxc4
A final slip.
26.Bd6+ Black resigned
