I've already suggested incorporating this idea into the Trampoline
cell - the idea being that since it's soft and bouncy, it breaks
Willy's fall. Making it multi-purpose :)

Maybe I didn't get around to posting the idea but I think I did.

Either way, I think it would be brilliant. Setting things up so you
get caught on a rope after a fall can be so tedious sometimes (not to
mention predictable).
