Only if they both had the knowledge and frame of mind to engi her flotation devices from the life vest rose was wearing. Otherwise the door would have sunk enough for them to freeze to death before rescue came. Provides they knew rescue was coming after a certain time.
Considering one was a socialite, and the other a freelance artist, and both had just almost been killed multiple times… no, I don’t think they would have had the foresight to come up with the exact scenario that would have saved them both.
Only if they had the knowledge and abilities (and time to come up with a plan) of two people whose job it is to come up with exactly this kind of thing.
Sure, it was possible. That doesn’t make it probable.
I take it you didn’t actually watch the mythbusters episode, then. If they both just climbed on the door they would have both died. They would have had to jury-rig a contraption using the life-preserver Rose was wearing to survive… barely.
Cameron tested this. There was room for both on the door, but only in a very specific orientation could they both stay dry. And because she was wearing more clothes than he was, even if Jack makes it out of the water, he’s still hypothermic and won’t survive.

Technical there was room for two on that door
Everyone is all “actually it would be impossible” like this removed did math before telling the guy to go fuck himself.

No there wasnt.
Room for 2? Maybe. Buoyancy for 2? No.
There is a Mythbusters episode on this. Rose literally and figuratively fucked Jack.

I don’t recall the full episode but a few things stood out.
Yep, salremoveder has more buoyancy, and the higher the salinity, the more buoyant the water.

“Climb on the door” seems like something within their knowledge and abilities.

Did they watch the Mythbusters episode?
Rose and Jack? Probably not.
It would somewhat undermine the core of their narrative being a tragedy within a larger tragedy though.

I mean there were other ways of doing that without making it look like she just didn’t let him on the door.
