That rope is about a foot off the ground; I'm struggling to work out how he managed NOT to clear it!

The same alcohol that gave him the courage, gave him the fall.

He jumped too late, and so his toes caught, while still rising. It then spun him into the ground. Moving ropes can screw up your instincts to jump them, unless you pay proper attention (and over jump).

Notice that he didn't make any effort to catch himself. This isn't a person that normally does things like this or the crash wouldn't have been a solid faceplant.

Most people can't jump for shit.

He did the motions of a jump but with the 6" of height he got he might as well have just run straight into it.

The rope looks like it is oscillating up/down. If you position your jump on the "down" oscillation, you're gonna have a bad time.
