Basically there is a lot more force on the beads going down (because the string is longer) but the beads going up have to be moving at basically the same speed. So the beads leaving the jar have some upward momentum that gravity has to over come. Thats how you get the cool arc

Does someone has a real explanation, because I'm not really convinced by your "I think blablabla gravity blablabla momentum...".
