Or simply turn at lower speeds/make less sharp turns as they still had some control. It would simply have made a less interesting video.
Similarly with the zero gee pendulum keep going far enough and the end would move to the left as it's only so long. Then reverse the process to move the pendulum to an arbitrary position. Alternatively, use vastly slower motions and the friction with the arm will counteract tiny momentum changes.
