People hardly tell the truth again especially when their lives are at stake, they want to lie because they believe people buy it quickly than saying the truth. Although, sometimes we find ourselves being bothered about it especially with that question and similar ones to it and at that moment, what I used to say is that God will not allow such to happen because when it happens, we don't know what we would do then.
For the second one, I have found myself many times regretting my words because of how I say such thing when I am so happy. Since I want to stand on my words, I go against my wish even when it's uncomfortable for me. This is why they say, one should not make a promise when you are so excited but to choose your words calmly.

Nice. The "God will not allow such to happen" statement is the best approach to take because we humans are not even aware of the limit of what we can withstand. I don't enjoy lying about anything and I wouldn't want to be in a situation where I have to lie to save someone's life. I can't even imagine myself in that situation.
The one about keeping our word is interesting, especially for someone who likes to stick to his/her words. What you said about not making promises when you are excited is very legit. I also try to avoid making promises when I'm super excited about a particular thing.
Yes, no one would because we don't know what we can do at that point.
