Stage = Elevators
We need to get the elevator to drop while we still hold onto the rope as it drops.
Go over to one of the cables and headbutt it using until it snaps. Then go over to the 2nd cable and headbutt it 2 or 3 times but not enough to break it, you just want to weaken it.
Climb the now weakened cable using / and to pull yourself up a bit then mash to kick the cable until it breaks and the elevator falls - you should be able to hold on long enough for achievement to pop before you fall.
The Achievement guide below will walk you through this achievement and all 18 others achievements in the game too including an easy method for getting the most difficult one in my opinion (Sit Down achievement).

Break the outside cable of the elevator with headbutts first. Climb up the other cable with the tactic mentioned in “Buoy ‘o buoy” and kick the cable until it snaps.
You can do this online or offline, either solo or with other players. If playing local, the trophy will only unlock for Player 1. If playing online, each player will individually have to complete the requirements to unlock their trophy. Start up a Melee game and choose the Elevator stage. On this stage, there will be two elevators that will constantly be moving up and down. You need to get on top of the elevators and break the two cables holding it up, while holding onto one of the cables yourself. The elevator needs to fall with you hanging on to the cable for the trophy to unlock.
To climb up, position yourself under the hatch door that is hanging down in the middle of one of the elevators. Hold either or (not both) to raise one of your hands. Jump up to grab onto the hatch door. Hold to pull yourself up and grab onto a higher point with your other hand. Let go of your lower hand and pull yourself up again. Repeat this process until you are on top of the elevator.
If doing this solo, break one of the cables by giving it a few good headbutts (). Once it’s broken, grab onto the newly broken cable with one hand and start headbutting the other cable. As soon as it breaks, the elevator will fall, leaving you dangling. The trophy will unlock as long as you don’t go down with the elevator.
If you’re doing this with a friend, do not headbutt the cables. Instead, each of you needs to grab onto your own cable with one hand. Pull yourself up and grab onto a higher point with your other hand. Release your lower hand and, when you’re both ready, start kicking the cables. As soon as both break, you both should be high enough on the cables to not fall down with the elevator. If you’re both online, you both will get the trophy.
If you need a visual reference for getting this done, please see the video provided under Safety Warning. This trophy is shown at 08:38.
To do this, when the last rope breaks, you need to hold on to it with your hand.
