This time, her hands get a decent grip and she manages to cling to the side of the cliff face.
Unfortunately, the swing tugs the debris into one final creaking lurch, then a heavy shadow falls over the three of them as it tips down over the edge, flipping end over end toward the ground.
Fortunately, it largely misses them on the way by. One of them (of your choosing, since they're all together) gets a pretty nasty cut up the length of his or her shoulder blade on the way by, but it could be worse - they could've been flattened.
It lands on the ground below them with a loud crash, in significantly worse shape than it was on the cliff. And now comes the task of getting back down to the ground. Their limbs are likely pretty tired from dangling to the side of the cliff all this time, and whoever just got sliced open can expect to have an especially rough time climbing back down with a searing pain in his or her shoulder.
