Hope the pilot has some extra underwear around.
Impressive!
My understanding is when a Navy Pilot lands on an aircraft carrier he or she has to punch it into full speed as soon as the wheels hit the deck. This is so that in case they miss the cable or if the cable snaps. They have enough speed to take off again.
So what we are seeing is how it actually works.
