Maybe he can't -- but as you saw, he was recovered and wheeled off on a stretcher. He could have regenerated then. If you recall the TV movie, it took almost a day for Sylvester McCoy to finally regenerate into Paul McGann. It's not "oh shit, better regenerate within the next couple minutes or else that's it!" The Time Lord regenerative process is a lot more flexible than that. I'm still in awe that "it must have happened too fast for him to regenerate" was the best RTD could come up with.
