I doubt anyone could escape through those "gaps". I also think it is preferable for the fuselage to be "flimsy" enough to absorb the energy of the impact and still stay relatively intact rather than transfer it all to the occupants.
For those wondering were the stab is only the RH half is missing as can be seen in image #2.
