Carters death was completely avoidable. First, there was no purpose in ramming the Scarab in the first place (it did nothing for the mission and the Scarab wasn't even bothering with them). Second, all he had to do was aim the Pelican and then run out the open bay door in the back (gravity and momentum would've taken effect and drove it into the Scarab anyway).
That was the only viable way he could kill the Scarab, the Pelican had no missile armament, just the machine guns, and they weren't going to really cut it. Plus the Scarab was targetting Six and Emile with its laser. And Carter tried distracting and leading the Scarab away first, at least I'd assume that's why he started shooting it and veering off, but that didn't work, it went right back to targeting Six and Emile once it saw what was shooting at it. And Carter suicide bombing the Scarab actually did further the mission, it saved Six and allowed her to deliver the Package. Even if Carter did jump out of the Pelican he was pretty much bleeding out, he was definitely in a condition that was bad enough to require immediate medical attention.
