Actually, I tend to think the eagles were divine intervention, sent by Manwe if not by Eru, since eagles are Manwe's favorites, and Gandalf/Olorin was of Manwe's people. I rather think there would have been some kind of intervention, regardless, as I don't believe Gandalf was
meant to die at that juncture. Something would have happened to prevent it. I was merely speculating upon the "what if he DID jump?" line of thought.
