dude didn't want to be tasered so took his chances on a 50 foot fall. it's not like they pushed him or the force from the taser caused him to fall...he basically scooted off the cliff, samurai sword in hand
Except that, with 2 sets of taser prongs in your back pumping juice into you, there is no way to ever know if "sliding off the cliff" was a voluntary action or not. When your entire nervous system is getting rocked with 50,000 volts, your muscles tend to do some really bizarre things.
