[ He plummets down a second before lunging out, and he's left with all he can do being to grab at the frame and catch himself. The entirety of his weight on a single unprepared shoulder, however, doesn't do him kind. Momentum arrested for sure, but with a yelp he lets go and drops to the ground below, crumpling straight onto his ass and hugging his affronted arm. ]

[ If he's got the sense left to say something like yeow, it can't be that bad, but it's the surprise talking here. ]
