The kick of the van going off the bridge should have woken up Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in the hotel dream level since he was awake in that level and in the level above he was falling. [It has been explained that there are two ways of waking up from dreams: either by dying in the dream or through a kick on the previous level. You can see that during the first dream experience: Cobb shoots Arthur and he wakes up in the previous level; Cobb himself is pushed into the bathtub in the previous level and he wakes up. As we know, the rules change when you're using the special sedative, as it is much more powerful. We can therefore assume that a kick in the previous level isn't enough, there needs to be a kick in the level you're in as well. Think about it: why does Ariadne throw herself and Fischer off the balcony? If a kick in the previous level was enough, then they would have woken up when Eames used the defibrillator. Also, Eames didn't know that Cobb wouldn't come back, so we can assume that he used the defibrillator on him too, yet Cobb didn't come back because he did not have the kick on the level he was in. So, the fall from the balcony on the level Cobb, Ariadne and Fischer are in combined with the defibrillator on Level 3 [Eames's dream], brings Ariadne and Fischer back to Level 3; the explosion of the snow fortress on Level 3 combined with the elevator fall on Level 2 [Arthur's dream] brings Ariadne, Fischer and Eames back to Level 2; the elevator fall on Level 2 combined with the van hitting the water on Level 1 [Yusuf's dream] brings Ariadne, Fischer, Eames and Arthur back to Level 1. The kick in Level 1 isn't enough for Arthur to come back: he needs the kick on Level 2 as well. That's why he said "It's too soon!, because he didn't have that kick ready yet. It's also why Cobb says "We missed the first kick."]
