Among other things like Touma ninja-running up falling debris, not breaking any bones despite falling from heights in Orsola's arc, dramatic license wins more times than not.
I personally was a little more iffed by the director's choice for Touma to call Misaka 'Biribiri' in that scene. Twice. That nickname has taken a life of its own that it evolved outside its pre-memory loss usage, and the choice for it to be used during a serious scene ( even when he previously called 10032 'Misaka' before noticing it wasn't the originl ) felt inconsistent.
