James - If the initial fall doesn't kill you, then your survival all depends on how badly you are injured and your first aid & survival skills. Stopping severe bleeding and signaling your wife would be the two key things. It's better to wait for help to reach you rather than crawl out, if you're injured.
You could take a Red Cross Wilderness First Aid class to bolster your first aid skills. Other than that, being more careful to prevent the falls in the first place would be prudent.
