"I'm good" here means "I will do it". He is saying that if she gives him "one hard push", he will jump off of the cliff. Keep in mind, "I'm good" does not always have this meaning. "I'm good" can have many different meanings depending on the context it is used in. For example, "I'm good" can mean "no thank you" when used as a response when something is offered to you. It can also be used as a response when someone asks how you are and you want to tell them you are doing well. Here are some examples of a few common ways "I'm good" is used: Ex: A: Do you want a piece of cake? B: I'm good! ("I'm good" here means "no thank you") Ex: A: How have you been? B: I'm good! ("I'm good" here means "I'm doing well")
