To escape. Don't you often feel the same way?

He had nowhere else to go. If he tried to run across the river, they would have had a clean shot at shooting him with their bows and arrows. Plus by jumping, if he survived it would have made it harder for them to chase afte him.

To escape the ones who were chasing him. Wasn't that obvious?
