Well Gaius did survive Ultima weapon being destroyed(plus the exploding base to boot). Oversoul is the fantasy version of a suicide atack since it feeds on the pilot life.

Theres a difference between "might die" and "will die" on the battlefield otherwise barely no one would become a soldier if it would be a death warrant 100% of the time. The pilots here are basically human experiments to test and improve the new Ultima prototypes so either they win always or they die (and in some cases both)
