The End of Time: Part Two - S4-E18
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor is being rolled down the stairs whilst he is strapped to the chair, it is apparent that in the wide shots, it is a dummy in the chair and not the Doctor. In the wide shots, the Doctor is sitting virtually still and motionless, but in the closer shots, he is fidgiting.
Chosen answer: 1) When Stephen Moffat took over he ignored a lot of what had been developed before (there is not in-universe answer). 2) It would have killed Rose, so the Doctor absorbed the energy. His body regenerated before the energy could do a significant amount of damage that would prevent regeneration.
