The way people have died

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I was just reflecting on Ben's death and how brutal it was that he was totally somehow just surviving out there and probably would have been fine had he not run into Mari that day. Then I started thinking about it. Everyone's death since the plane crash has been completely preventable. No one has died purely from injury/illness/starvation/exposure. Its an insane concept to this show considering they are in the middle of the wilderness. When you compare it to actual plane crashes like the 1972 Uruguayan Rugby team plane crash where literally 100% of them died from starvation, exposure, or illness/injury ... its kinda insane.

It is SHOCKING when you actually think about it. Shauna surviving an extreme pregnancy complication. Ben surviving a limb amputation. Van surviving a wolf attack. Lottie surviving her beating. Every team player surviving a terrible winter with no food. Meanwhile the people that did die:

Laura Lee could have not gone on that plane.

Jackie could have come inside.

Javi could have been pulled from the ice.

Crystal could have not been backed off that ledge. (Edited: Sorry you're right she wasn't pushed)

Ben could have not been stabbed.

Shauna's baby definitely died from real medical complications but I think he's the only one... which begs some awkward questions regarding personhood that I won't get into here.

Even in the adult timeline!! Van has an extremely aggressive cancer and yet she somehow doesn't succumb to it?

Adam could have not been stabbed.

Kevin Tan could have not been poisoned.

Jessica Roberts could have not been poisoned.

Nat could have not been injected.

Whether you think it was suicide or murder, Travis could have not hung from that crane.

I'm not sure what the show writers are getting at here. In one sense you could say they are doing an excellent job of survival if no one has died from exposure. On the other hand you could also say wow they are really just out there letting each other die for no reason. Must weigh on the shoulders of the surviving yellowjackets significantly.
