I don't think there is a right way to do this one. The rope is waaay too long. No one is gonna be able to hold on to that bar approaching terminal velocity.

The only way I could think to make it work would be to run along the cliff edge to the swinger's left and then jump in order to get the rope taught. Only issue there is you better be damn sure you leg go at the right time or it will be sending you back toward the (presumably) shallow rocky water at the cliff base.
12-25 seconds is what it takes to reach terminal velocity. 1500 feet/450 meters is a conservative data point.
80-ish feet from this isn't approaching terminal velocity.
Okay but he was exaggerating. And also you're always APPROACHING terminal velocity. Just at different speeds.
Just like my weekly jogs are approaching the speed of light.

Average parabola denier.
That SLAP as they hit the water. “Ow” seems like an understatement when internal organs are being rearranged.
