This seems pretty innovative, but how do they stop the rockets when they get to the other side? Seems like a very dangerous method.

Giant catchers mitt ordered from ACME!

In all seriousness, the mountain takes care of that for them I suspect. It's probably burned all the fuel in flight and thus they just have to stand clear once it lands on the other side.

Tie the other end of the cable down, make sure it's the appropriate length?
