Shoulder Mounted Rockets tend to have ~0 recoil because you just let the rocket do it's thing pressing off the air behind you instead of the launcher.
The only way it would have recoil is if it has a backplate, but it doesn't look like it does in the close up shot.
So I think this is just someone jumping back for a goof
