Corrected entry: Jim Shannon is up on the fence surrounding Terra Nova, cutting vines with a machete in his left hand. A mega-millipede is approaching from the right: Jim is startled and falls off the fence. But surprise, there's no sign of any machete anywhere around him. Safety first.
Terra Nova (2011)
1 corrected entry in Genesis - Part 1
Starring: Jason O'Mara, Allison Miller, Christine Adams, Shelley Conn
Genres: Sci-fi
Continuity mistake: After removing their rebreathers, they are again with them at 12:48, and then are sans the rebreathers and their jackets at 13:19.
Question: Is there any reason they have to go to that particular time to start their colony? Why not say 64 million years ago? Since it's after the dinosaurs, but before the evolution of sabertooths and mammoths? It'd be a lot safer.
Chosen answer: Because that's where the rift led. They don't have a time-travel machine, capable of taking them wherever they please - all they have is a hole in time leading to one single time period.

Correction: The fence constructed at an angle (i.e. slanting away from inside the compound). Knowing that he is about to fall Jim pushed himself away from the fence to fall clear of the fence, dropping the machete at the same time. It must have fallen through the fence. Like you said, safety came into Jim's mind knowing to fall clear of the machete and the fence.
