Kowalski frantically tells Dr. Stone to detach from the broken shuttle arm because it is carrying her further away. In fact, Dr. Stone and the arm would be at the same velocity relative to Kowalski and the shuttle. In addition, Dr. Stone would have angular velocity due to the end-over-end tumble of the arm. When she detaches from the arm, that angular velocity would be translated into velocity along her path at time of release. That could increase her velocity away from Kowalski or decrease it depending on her release vector. Traveling separate from the arm would also make her harder to see. In short, frantic calls for her to release would not have been the best course.
