Steve Rogerson asked:
If it was Dayna and Avon, would Avon sacrifice himself knowing that
throwing Dayna off (assuming he could) wouldn't be enough?<
No, he'd sacrifice his studded leathers. Together with Dayna they'd probably made the weight.
Of course, there's at least one piece of alt-Orbit fanfic where the leathers on their own make the weight...
