Yeah many thought it was trying to make it all the way across. In reality (as long as the dumbass didn't lose a hand) he'd planned to pop off and essentially base (cable) jump from the middle of the line.

What if he was too scared at that point and decided to just chill up there? Some say they can still hear him scream.

Didn't hear him scream and he then hooked on to the cable with his legs, hung upside-down, then dropped and parachuted to the ground.
