As I'm sure you'll hear from any number of people, that was the way the scene played in the original broadcast.
The second time Homer falls down the cliff was cut in the original broadcast, but then was shown in a clip show (which is why you remember seeing it).
When the DVD season with that clip show comes out, it will presumably include the second fall down the cliff.
