On your last rant~ Gandalf is being pulled off of the ledge by the strength of the balrog who has caught him by the leg with his whip. At the risk of the entire Fellowship being pulled off the ledge with him, I think it was a good decision to realize that their combined strength would not be enough to counteract the balrog. Besides, Tolkien said that Gandalf fell with the balrog. And that's exactly what happened.
