There are some assumptions being made here.
First, a gun pointed at you does not = certain death. In the vast majority of cases, a bad guy pointing a gun at you has no intention of shooting you. When you escalate the situation through a poorly executed disarming maneuver (what other way could you execute it with 10 hours of training?) you are actually increasing the chances that the assailant will shoot.
In my job field, we have an assessment called risk verus benefit. Attemping some half-arsed wanna be karate maneuver increases your risk, and unless the maneuver is properly executed, does not increase the benefit.
Staying in a malfunctioning aircraft may include a high degree of risk, and some would argue that you should jump out to avoid the crash. That becomes foolish if all you are using as a parachute is a trash bag or an umbrella.
