Then again, there are two canonical examples of airship crashes that I know of, and neither shows evidence of such precautions.

Any falling vehicle in a pulp adventure should hit the ground about two seconds after the PCs leap to safety, exactly one second before the BBEG is able to complete his sinister plan, and at the exact moment of the explosion.
