The key word is Surviving. Lara Croft Does not mearly survive the elements. Lara Croft is a bad ass who does not fall off a planes wing and tumble and get the fuck knicked out of her, It might happen, but the next scene is the turning the tumble into a swan dive, or whipping out her pistols and blasting some fuckers at the bottom.

I would probably die, yes, but I would be just as ungraceful and desperate as she is, you see what I'm saying, we don't see her survive, we don't see her overcome, we see her do exactly what I would do. Running, Jumping falling and getting hurt and captured. The fact that she probably survives it is... Well, I mean, that's the bare minimum we want from our bad-asses, isn't it? That they survive the majority of their bad situations? What a badass hero should do is be seen overcoming, be seen beating something, not struggling against it, but thriving.

Ok, Like... Lara Croft falls off an aeroplanes wing into some water while screaming - Probably survives, based on narative rules, but we don't see it, Vs Lara Croft Staring down a T-Rex and getting ready to fight it. You see why one of those two things is 1) more in character, and 2) more bad ass, more controlled, showing more Active rather than Re-active? Showing more "I got this" kinda vibe, yes?
