Not really, unless you get the Elites shooting you before you make the checkpoint ahead of meeting the Gúta - or unless Jun gets freakin' trigger-happy as you're trying to perform the forklift glitch and draws the attention of Grunts on the tower toward you trying to line that thing up.
That's what happened to me. Just pause as soon as you die and hit save and quit. You resume from a checkpoint. Saves a LOT of time.
