Yep, that works just fine.
I'm just saying there are a few things they could have done that would have been cool.
And that whole "oh, the machine screwed up and slid them across the room" explanation is just... well surely that's the sort of thing people are killed for in the world of making up insulting excuses.
Of course you could come up with all sorts of models for how the gravity works but then the whole frickin' galaxy is thrown out of wack and couldn't work like it's shown. In the end, you just have to accept what you're given. A movie that is imperfect but still pretty enjoyable.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
