Consider this;  if the rope had not been cut the two of them would probably 
still be where they were when the rope was cut:  one swinging on a rope and the 
other stuck in place holding onto an ever increasing weight of rope and 
rider.  When the rope was cut it enabled the hanger on to land on a ledge -- there 
to find courage enough to think about his choices.  Should he go to Wal-mart, 
go on a search for hummingbirds (or chickens or Geese), or crawl back to base 
camp?  He chose the latter.  Well, perhaps I need to see the film (or read the 
book) to understand the situation better.

What do you think?
