Not penalised no, but questioned as to how well your graceful failure worked in the end.

Remember: it may not be your fault, but it still is your problem.

A analogy for illustrating this is:

You get hit by a car and injured. The accident is the other driver's fault, but getting to the ER is your problem. The other driver may help and call an ambulance, but they might not even be able to help you if they also got hurt in the car crash.
