I actually, am that fan that's not sure the TARDIS is going to catch her. (Some spoilers I've read have stated that the Doctor is imprisoned when they the building-jumping happens, so...maybe it's a future version that comes to get her, but who knows?) I'm sort of 75% the Doctor brings the TARDIS to catch her, 25% she figures out another way to BAMF her way out of the situation.
I've had these sorts of thoughts in a way as well. According to the actual theory surrounding things like time travel, when time is changed, in a parallel universe it happened the other way (well, that's a massive oversimplification from what I understand of the physics, but I think that's the gist). So, in some universe, River just sort of floated out into the abyss with no TARDIS to catch her. Whenever I get these sorts of thoughts I immediately shut down the science bits of my brain, because I don't like thinking of space-frozen!River. :(
