Wait how exactly does rolling help? I can understand catching the victim sooner to accelerate upwards over a longer time period.
Catching and rolling is physically similar to landing on a curved vertical ramp and sliding down it. The motion is not altogether stopped but instead redirected. Rolling is like hitting a tiny tiny ramp so your velocity is redirected at a very high rate, but it’s still better than just instantaneously stopping
The way I'm imagining it:
Hero swoops in, matches velocity, grabs person, immediately starts spinning with them and slowing down, thus converting their downward momentum into centripetal momentum?
