He seems remarkably chill about it.

 

I thought that as well. probably shock effect.

should have tied  the rope at the lower end,would have then fallen below the climbers feet no matter what the ground worker did or did not do.

Might have created a bit more shock load to do and  maybe that was why he did'nt do it

It was a spell by one of the masters in a harry Potter film . It was supposed to mend a broken arm but actually removed all the bones leaving a rubber like arm .

I know that sometimes it is difficult to see angles and forces involved, but to me the log did not seem to have enough velocity to do more than perhaps cause a bruise or trapped finger/black nail.  This together with the fact that there was no "Aaaaaaaaargh!"  or  the usual stream of profanities, just the calm "I have broken my arm"  with no sign of a broken arm or him nursing it.

Did he break his arm or was he just commenting for groundie effect?
