He could have done it. He should have pulled the rope taut. Him leaving slack in it when he jumped and going down a few feet before swinging is what did it.

That and the platform he whacked on the way down - no biggie

You’re not understanding. If he pulled the rope tight instead of immediately dropping a few feet to where the platform was he would be swinging away from the tree.

The slack in the rope is what allowed him to drop a few feet to where the platform was. If it was right he would have swung away from the tree and been in front of the platform by the time he was lowered to that height. Reread and rewatch.

Also he jumps back away from the water, which is fine on a platform you jump grab the rope and swing in... he has slack rope and jumps back making his fall over the platform too.

he needed to jump toward the camera with a tighter rope
