It took me about 10 tries. I sat there trying only for it, and if I failed, I'd keep trying. It becomes really hectic towards the end, but I got lucky one time and died right at 1:01. I kept timing myself to figure out how hard it would be.

I think what finally helped is that I would stay still as long as possible, then move at the last second before something hit me. This helps to group them up a bit. You do have to be careful with this strategy though to make sure you don't get trapped.
