Atlantis 1 - The Red Cockerel Inn

I've been struggling with this sequence where you get killed if you don't cut the rope fast enough and do theTarzan thing out of the Inn. I've tried it quite a number of times, but every time I swing on the rope, I stop and the chandelier falls on ME (I die).

Is it just a matter of doing it fast enough or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

After you get the rope click on the badguy to the left and you'll escape,be ready to run for you life after you get out of there.:)I just finished this game and I thought it was great.
