Yes.
Would you rather have to run 1/2 a mile, wearing a coat made of pilchards through a flock of starving puffins; or climb up a telegraph pole which is coated in cheese graters and then jump off into a skip full of mousetraps wearing only a swimsuit ?
The former. When in doubt, puffins can be punted. You can't punt gravity.
