Presumably if a dreamer goes past Level 3, he/she goes into Limbo as well, but not as an effect of being killed in any dream level. So Cobb and Ariadne go to sleep in Level 3 to go into Limbo to rescue Fischer. Ariadne pushes Fischer off the patio to provide the kick to get out of Limbo, then she jumps off herself.
But was the kick just perfectly timed for Eames to resuscitate Fischer?
Maybe, if you remember, he was getting resuscitated before she kicked him out (the lightning in the background). I'm pretty sure that the time lag in limbo was so long that while the zap was happening she kicked him out. So there's a much bigger window for a 'perfectly timed' kick.
