No no, the way I was interpreting it, even if the tower didn't collapse, Tab still would have fallen, because there would nothing for him to hold on to, whether or not the tower was still there. So, when he lands, he throws the sword, the sword gets stuck, and because he's running at the tower, it's easier to hit the tower with both feet and then launch off of it.

Hmm did I make it that confusing?

Anyway, he jumped toward the tower cut it, then bounded off, the fact he has no hold is precisely why he would not linger. (skilled as he is in parkour) 

Can't expect him to fall forward through the ice tower then run toward it and still jump off after throwing his sword for no reason point blank at the pillar. :/
