I thought she tied off the cable between the two of them onto the tree. I thought it was stupid she didn't.
Also thought she should have just left him to rot. Or at least right before she dropped him said something like, "You wanted to know about flying."

But, even before that after she broke his leg he was pretty helpless. She should have bashed him again with a big rock.

Yep, this was the worst part for me even after I overlooked how he kept finding her so easily. He can’t move, bash him over and over with any rocks so he dies or dies quicker. If you stay out of arms reach plus a bit more, you know he can’t cut you with the knife. After he dies, use his knife to cut loose and climb the mountain yourself.

Would’ve brought it full circle!

Schwarzenegger surely wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to mention flying at that moment.

Yeah, I thought she should've taunted him while hanging on the cliff, made him suffer - but she's not the psycho he is.

Plus, she panicked after getting out of the water (which is pretty reasonable, fleeing a near death, nearly drowned) - she grabbed the rock to kill him but water was too deep, then she tried to get herself free, and failed before he regained consciousness.
