IMO, the MD player needs to be given a chance to get his body vertical to land on the court on his 2 feet without injuring himself; only he would know what his body is capable to land safely. He didn't "chin-up", lift his knees emphatically, or rock back & forth multiple times; his arms stayed extended through one swing "to prevent an obvious injury to self or others."

His decision to hang on the rim and swing his legs up is what creates a potential danger. If he simply dunked the ball and let go of the rim, his body would never become parallel to the floor creating the potential danger.
I agree with the technical foul here.
