Trying it some more, it depends on how you jump in addition to the acid level. And if you are going to the floating tile or the door. That's too many ifs so I'll take it out and just say you take damage waiting for the acid to move a bit and let scaling cover a missed jump.

Same question, except I'm not sure if the down grab is even useful at all. It looked like it was useful going from the deep acid to the 2 wide platforms, but the same scenario doesnt really occur right to left - it can occur if the acid is about 25% high, but much higher or lower and you can jump out fine.
