Honestly, after sitting on the film a week and letting the scene sink in with me, I honestly feel that was the entire point. She didn't deserve to die. If she had, this would be another death like the others, albiet drawn out. The fact that this happens to someone who only had one moment of human error/irresponsiblity, and she dies while in trying to correct that, raises the stakes, if you will. Our preconcieved notions of who dies in these films was shattered by Zara's fate.

It tricks the audience to beleive that, since Zara died, any of our main heroes could too. Thus, it made us more concerend for their fate.
