While his abilities are still dulled, Gary nevertheless has very quick reflexes. He catches one of the planks with his elbow and wraps his arm around it on the way through; there's an unpleasant sort of snapping noise as the wood splinters but the ensemble holds, and holds Gary with it. He takes the next few moments to catch his breath, get a grip on the bridge with his other arm and pull himself up, hissing and cursing the entire way. The kick to his temple just seems to make him angrier.
