Agility Pack - Jumping from a Hang and Fall Damage

[DragonFist]

I'd like to be able to Jump from hanging. Especially if hanging from a wall, and press in a direction away from the wall and pressing jump, have the character actually jump away from the wall/hang object (reversing direction in the process). This is a somewhat common mechanic in platformers. However, I haven't figured out how to do it with the hang ability.

Something else that I'm noticing is that if one falls enough to be damaged or die but grabs a ledge by hanging, the damage isn't applied until after one pulls oneself up from the ledge or drops down. This is especially jarring if one died from the fall, as the death occurs after pulling up.
