Why does releasing a cork save a glass using angular momentum conservation?

[bugatti79]

Hi Folks,

How would one use the conservation of angular momentum to explain the attached picture?
The rod is held fixed horizontally..the person holds on to the cork and then let's go...apparently the glass is saved due to this conservation...
