The ones I didn't unplug can't be pulled back. It takes half a second to give each cable a gentle tug.

You think you can feel that that easily from the other side of the house? All of those cables will have a lot of resistance

Yes. It's a straight vertical drop, with the switch pretty much at the bottom of the chimney. The only resistance is the weight of 10 meters of suspended cable segments.
