He had/has absolute trust in his partner to hold him that made the catch even possible. I miss that kind of comradery.

He is wearing a harness as well.

looks like the harness is clipped to the partner. doubt you're gonna find a convenient anchor point that can take the mass of a small truck in the middle of an apartment on short notice.

Yes, you can even see when the dude catch the person, the partner makes a move holding him down.

It's a body weight anchor.. you basically hope you can use a ledge and your strength as the anchor point. Basically last ditch effort we both agree to go over type of method.

The harness looks like it’s just tied to his partner though.

Tied to the partner too in case the force pulls him out as well
