Barmymoo:
Maybe it was sabotage. I am waiting for Changing Eyes to show his superpowers and save her.

She falls from the same hight as the lowest point of the circle made by the wingtips. That is not that far up. Could be fatal, but not inevitably so.

I would go for assasination attempt/rope sabotage. If the proper safety procedures are followed, this just shall not happen.
As to the height: Difficult to judge from the perspective in strip #2, but I would guess she falls from approx 30m / 100ft height. Inevitably fatal.

Don't you know how cartoon physics works? A fall from extreme height will cause no injuries whatsoever as long as somebody catches you at the bottom. Because only the ground can cause rapid, fatal deceleration.

Lands in a bush; problem solved.

Well, Wile E. Coyote certainly has had his share of stony ground crashes from high altitude, without being killed so far. And neither the Road Runner nor anybody else has been there to catch him before the crash.
