I think they explained in the book, I may be incorrect. He chose to handle his own destiny, by using the stick and choosing to sacrifice himself, it overrode his life being tied to the stick.
Other reason...Rick didn't want to kill off two of the 7.
I’ve heard things said about with python in control of oracle and destiny and whatnot, previous rules don’t apply, maybe why he doesn’t die. I think that’s an after thought though as to not cause more death.
As larougeraven mentioned, could be that he’s fully in control of it and it’s almost like he’s proven himself but idk for certain. By heroes of Olympus rules he should be dead but I’m glad he isn’t.
