Gerry Conway, the writer of that story thought it would have much more power if spider-man had inadvertantly caused her death. He wrote about the whole issue in Marvel Masterworks amazing spider-man vol 13. It fit right in with the guilt spidey carries for his uncle's death as well.

Poor spidy he suffered two great losses one person who taught him to rise up and other Gwen who is first crush . In fact he is responsible for making things right in wrong situations but ultimately failed as product carries burden of guilt till the end of his life.

hitting water from that kind of height, is like hitting the pavement with your face- after a 100 ft fall

[Eric Newgen]

why didnt spider man let her fall into the water and then save her?

[MrAfarrugia]

they wanted to make her die probably so there will be a sad chapter in the amazing spiderman's storyline comics btw sometimes spiderman's story makes me cry such a dark and strange storyline

But wait...if spiderman did nothing, she would fall to her death right? I never read the comics, is it an ocean below her?
