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.

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.
