I always wondered: if you had to ditch your plane with engines mounted under the wings, would it be better to pull the plane up very fast, as to lose the engines? This would make the chance of flipping nose over less. Of course, engines breaking lose also has impact on the wings, the force of pulling up can have 'some side effect' and if you not lose all engines, the plane may be out of balance. But still wondering...
