When Moshe Rabbenu dropped the luchos there is a read and written word, read as וישלך מידיו, both hands but written מידו, one hand. Maybe, the Yerushalmi says that the letters made the luchas light to carry. So he was able to carry it with one hand but when they flew off, Moshe Rabbenu had to hold on with both hands and was unable to hold it and dropped it. This seems to disagree with the Babli being praised that he dropped it but according to the above he had no choice.
