He was trying a classic failed method to get back in the chair. It's almost impossible to do it by swinging your legs up like that. First you have to pull up and get your armpit to support your weight, raising your center of gravity. Then you can be more successful swinging your legs up.

Hmmm, survival of the fittest or survival of the stupid? The mind reels.
Same thing happened to one of the ground crew of one of the Navy blimps back in the 30s.

Game. Set. . . . Match.
