It did not save him. The DM simply said "He now falls slowly, but he still disappears into the chasm." I suppose it might matter how deep the hole is. A round is what, 6 seconds? If it takes a round to use a scroll, the target has already fallen 200 feet.

At GenCon So Cal with my group, one person fell into the chasm in the bridge room and then cast Featherfall and "drifted back to the edge". DM was fine with it. I guess it just depended on who you had. -Douglas

There are several views on the Feather Fall token. Originally it was just slowing your descent. So if you cast it on a falling member in the chasm, they just fell slower to their death in a bottomless chasm.

Jeff wanted to reduce the complexity and essentially the token is a "recover from fall" type of application. In other words, if you used it when falling from the chasm, the assumption is that you fell slow enough to catch the bridge and climb back up (no additional feats necessary). So for the future it is treated as a "get out of fall free" card.
