Okay's let's assume Carter has enough luck that he makes master chief look like a luckless hobo. He ejects, and somehow, no shrapnel hits him from either the Scarab nor the Pelican, and somehow he survives the fall. Dying, Carter falls into the middle of a hostile-infested zone. Even if he uses a health pack, he would still have died in the glassing or from the thousands of Covenant in the area.

I suppose you could argue that Carter dies after the events of Halo: Reach end by making his final stand last longer than Six, though.
