Definitely not, if he came off through the first part of the swing he'd have no chance at all.

>wouldn't he have tried holding on with his hands previously, but with a couple of metres of rope attached from his harness to the end of the swinging rope?

Yes, in fact others were trying it that way and were unable to hold on.

As for you M9, after several more reccy's & a lot of funny looking drawings I decided it was much safer (and MUCH easier) to just BASE jump there, but I'm not up to that for a good while yet.
