[The breaking of the arm and the force of the snowman reeling away from the damage happened just at the moment Jack was about to plunge his blade into the stone, instead causing him to lose his balance, his feet slipping back as his sword stabbed deep into the packed snow of the monster's shoulder. If it wasn't for that, he would no doubt have fallen off the thing by now, but as it was, he kept a firm grip on his only hand-hold, trying to get his feet against solid... snow, so he could pull himself back up again!
...he could still hear Ramza working away below, chunks flying off in all directions. He certainly had the thing's attention, if he could just get it to lean the right way he was sure they could end this.
Luckily the moment soon came when the snowman took another swing with its good arm, causing it to lean towards the ground. Jack's feet connected with its body and he hauled himself up onto whatever solid ground he could find, despite the blade now slipping and slicing through the snow. No more struggling. Just as he thought the monster might be reacting to his movements on his shoulders again, Jack raises his sword once more and plunges it right into the black stone, causing it to shatter.
