This looks like a hoot. 🙂

Thanks
I’m. In!
Excellent. You know deep inside that Colin Furze would have put a pulse jet on there...
Q: Is it set up: "when, 'one let goes' they both go "?

I wondered that too, but concluded it's probably when one lets go there's an instantaneous acceleration or jerk because half the load has gone, and that would need a really firm grip to counter.
Ahh! I made something similar to that about ten years ago. It was a Carsten Holler commission for the Sudeley Castle Deconstruction art-guff-fest.
This one had a hang-glider trapeze with a throttle grip that controlled an electric motor. Never got a go on it.......
Most excellent!
Of you watch - it’s set that if one goes, the line is unloaded and shifts outward so causing the other to disappear...

they don't seem to linger on it but theres a bit of rope and catch arrangement alluded to at around 0.50. It looks like the rope passes through hoops along the top of the beam and is free to move rather than two ropes tied to either end. Whether theres some sort of release as part of that or its just a enough to create a jolt I can't tell.
If you set it to slow mo you can see the rope mechanism is action around 1.50
it would need to be hugely overbuilt to handle the load of just one spinee.
