But there are some failure modes which do give you sufficient warning to bail out on. Just because one failure doesn't give you time it doesn't mean that you shouldn't bother. To use your car analogy, there's no point in wearing a seatbelt, as someone once died by driving their car off a cliff and a seatbelt did no good for them whatsoever.

You're ignoring the gas you need for your bottom time. And on OC you take more than you need because you plan for OC gas failure.

That reminds me of the South Park disclaimer - this programme should never be viewed by anyone ever!
