Is Tarzan's parents had survived ...

What kind of life would he have had?
I wonder what would have happened had he ended up growing up with his parents and them not being killed.

Sure they had to escape the burning ship and find some place safe to land;
Then they proceed to build a house
(Btw where did all those tools come from?Did they make them in the jungle)

I'm not sure what their plan was after. They were educated and mature but Tarzan would never be able to go to school and may spend the majority of his young years living solely with his parents in the African jungle!
Which may be really cool but he would have lived a very sheltered life and likely not have any friends

And his parents could only survive if they knew vital survival skills and I didn't see them bringing any provisions with them on the boat

Unless they were just setting up a temporary haven and planning to leave later what did they have in mind for themselves and their son ?

Thoughts anyone ? :)

I wonder if he would've never met Jane if his parents survived?

They were just trying to survive. What else could they have done? They probably didn't think too much about the future. They were able to build a pretty sturdy tree house, so I don't think their survival skills were that bad. Most likely they would've educated Tarzan themselves, they were not stupid people. And since they were a relatively young couple, Tarzan may have gotten a sibling or more.
