Basically. When he is holding it, the tension force in the slinky will equal the gravity force acting on it. When he releases the top of it, the tension force is still there, pulling up with the same force as gravity.

The unanswered question is - when the slinky hits the ground is it traveling at the same velocity as if the whole slinky were dropped from the highest point, as if the whole slinky were dropped from the lowest point, or at some velocity based on where exactly each part of the slinky was in space?
