Stupid Contrived Survival Stories

[u/MammothPenguin69]

1. 12 Feet Deep - Two idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST go swimming in a pool after it's closed. An incredibly contrived sequence of events happens so they get stuck in a pool. So the movie can happen.

2. Frozen (not that one) - Three idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST get on a ski-lift after it's closed. To the point of bribing the operator who for some stupid reason doesn't say anything. Do the movie can happen. Also, Wolves are not that aggressive. They are typically shy and avoid humans.

3. 47 Meters Down- Arguably the most believable scenario on this list. It's still really stupid.

4. Fall- Two idiots decide to climb an abandoned radio tower without proper equipment that would make escaping their predicament trivially easy. Stop me if you've heard this one before

so the movie can happen.

Except for the part where they can use the cable to climb to a tower and then down, which they do, but for a non-existent contrived reason it makes heavy cuts to their hand and they start bleeding heavily.

They had skiing gloves

Having rappeled and fast-roped for my previous career I can guarantee you would never say that again if you only wore normal skiing gloves without multiple layers or gloves made specifically for rappeling/fast-roping.
