That was entertaining for sure.
I wonder if it computed his weight as part of the catapult physics and really got him moving far.

I don't know. We never tested it. But i doubt it has anything to do with weight. As I could see from YT videos they used technique when the hooked guy had to jump and harpoon guy had to release in the right moment. They flew away different distances each time they tried.

We never tried it without a load. Also, it does not happen all the time. Maybe it is lag related. We used this technique a lot and it happened only 5 times. Three times while gliding down the mountain (and the line broke every time my stamina reached zero) and two times yesterday as described in original post. These two times it was not stamina related. Both times it happened when I jumped.

I'd just like to add, that I will be forever haunted by this experience. XD

Maybe we can test it more tonight...
