"On earth you would be correct.  However on Roshar you are operating at a reduced gravity so it does in fact work.  I belive Sanderson editor and friend Peter actually did the math on this.  The reduced gravity is also one of the reasons Roshar has so much megafuna\n \n\n\n\n\n\tThe reason Szeth follows orders is because it his his punishment for a spesific crime.  Kaladin is living proof that Szeth was actually innocent of the crime indicating that he no longer has to follow orders and in fact that the foundations of his belief system is incorrect.  He is not running from physical danger but from moral and spiritual ones.\n \n\n\n\n\n\tHe did not know that Kaladin was a windrunner at the time.  In fact he had concluded that Kaladin had a blade for regrowth and he also knew Kaladin was not present.  Yes it was easier for Kaladin to rescue him but Szeth had no idea that he would arrive in time.  Also just touching Dalinar might have been easier then stabbing him for combat reasons.\n \n\n\n\n\n\tThe crowd is mostly Lighteyes who train themselves not to react.  I do see where you are coming from but they might have just been too shocked by Kaladin to say anything.\n \n\n\n\n\n\tStormlgiht can save any Radiant from fall damage and Kaladin did get a bit of stormlight at the end. \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n"
