...You just need to be ABOVE the ledge when using it. When he's rocketing down he can still ledge snap, it's the transitioning animation and a bit after that nullifies his ability to snap. I've actually managed to spike some opponents while doing this, it's pretty useful for both that and recovering from high up so you're not forced to air dodge or challenge an attack, though it's still risky. The option is there regardless.
