Hi, I've never heard of it BUT it sounds like you might have a glitch,
Your sure your getting back across the blades fast enough, the last button is TIMED, You must have tried restarting the game by now, The only other thing I can say is (and I'm sorry) But you need to start the whole game over again.

If I may suggest, Double save your game, It does help,
At the first save altar save in slot 1, The next save altar save in slot 2 and switch back and forth between them, Then when you hit a glitch sometimes you can start from the other save file and get through it.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Cross over to the other side. There you'll need to activate the first two swithes in able for you to open the first two guarding rails of the gate. The first button can be visibly seen at the left side of the floor. The second swith is located at the right side. You won't find it because I waz hidden under the floor. You will need the crane. But along the path going to the crane you will be in a fight with a bounch of hades men. After defeating them, climb on top of the crane where you will find two controll lever. The levers are use for operating the crane, one is for driving the crane and the other one is for pull/release. Once you're on top of the crane, look down at the floor. Try to search for a glaring sign, that's where you will aim and release the cranes rock. After you smashed the floor, pull the rock up and place it at the switch located at the left side (the visible one). The left side switch is now activated. To activate the second switch, try to find a statue. Pull and drop the statue inside the floor hole. Place the statue to switch. It's done!

Now the difficult part.... You need to croos-over again to the other side. After you done it, SAVE (just in case)!!!!!...... Activate the switch. You said that it's timed, YES!, for about less than 15 seconds... You have to beat time! Bye now! Enjoy playing.... Hope you can understand my grammar...
