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

I might be reading too much into it, but it looks like, for just a second after the guy falls and the fireman in the window leans out to catch him, the 2nd guy kinda hangs his head like "Sorry man. You tried.", and then the first guy starts pulling the jumper up, and the 2nd guy jumps up like "Holy shit! You actually caught him!"

Yes, he caught her by the clothes, she slipped out and then he grabbed on to legs.
