Ok for one the face hugger is frozen and has it's tale around the persons neck when their attached and Ripley would be too heavy for the face hugger to lift to shore. Also i now the face hugger would supply oxygen to Ripley when underwater but wouldn't the face hugger die under water.
Though I'm the person who wrote the reply above yours and I think your reply is ok.

"wouldn't the face hugger die under water"
Not necessarily, remember, the previous films have portrayed the Xenomorphs as being capable of surviving in a vacuum, so water might not make much of a difference.

Is this serious? It's fiction. All works of fiction come with a set of pre conceived circumstances that the audience agrees work for the sake of the story. In this case, Ripley continues to survive because she's the main protagonist. It's her story. It's the same way Rick doesn't die in Walking Dead.
Who gives a sh*t how she survived the crash... I mean maybe it should have been more "realistic." You know, with the acid spitting aliens and far reaching space flight and all of the other super realistic elements of these movies.
I'm sorry CloudSantaros I'm afraid I can't put up with this, the space ship was traveling at 36,000 miles per hour into a shallow beach so no I can't put up with this post.
shareYou don't think that an escape capsule would have some sort of re-entry ability & procedure? And that it didn't function 100% because of damage caused by the alien as it hacked it's way toward meat?
shareIn most horror franchises (yes, I know Alien is a hybrid of science fiction and horror), protagonists who survive one film almost invariably die in later installments. Kudos to Alien for trying something different.
Requiescat in pace, Krystle Papile. I'll always miss you. Justice was finally served.
