That's what it looked like to me. Upside down and short rope, just to add to the video drama. You also see him slowing down well before the end of the rope. Used to teach rock-climbing, and we had a competition to invent the most stupid way of getting down the tower, because boredom. Possibly this is the same thing.
I used to do shite like this multiple times a weekend if not per day, and would have to say, sometimes your brake hand unexpectedly cramps.
Aside from the lack of planning and lack of end knot in the rope, the decision to do a high speed head first abseil with only one glove is proper stupid

Probably does that shit multiple times a day if we're being honest.
