So unless she fought the Grimm equivalent of a Kaiju, it's pretty hard to believe she died from simple Grimm. After all, Ruby, with just a burst, and without even knowing about the SEs, was able to freeze the Dragon. So imagine what Summer could have done, with more control over the eyes, and more skill and strength than Ruby had back then.

There is a problem I can see is that using such a power should take a heavy toll on the person using it. So Summer would not use it in anything less then a situation that she is certain to die if she dos not use it. But has a small chance of surviving if she dos use it. Ruby was knocked out for days at the very least if Qrow was not there to pick her up she could have died from expose let alone any number of ways an unconscious and unprotected person can die when outside.



Another possibility is that it takes some level of concentration and focus to be able to use it intentionally. If Summer was hard pressed enough in a fight she may not have been able to use it.
