Choppersquad knows he shouldn't get himself into such a dangerous situation. All he's asked is what he should do if he finds himself in an emegency situation "due to whatever stupid circumstances" he's put himself there.
Of course people shouldn't, but the sad fact is they do.
It may be that any advice (however good) is academic because he's likely to lose control in seconds rather than minutes and die anyway, but all he's asking is what he should try to do while he still has control.
