I just noticed in 'non-essential systems maintenance logs' it says that the maintenance check for the lifepods was 'commenced'. Because Ryley is the non-essential systems maintenance chief, it might explain why he was the only person in his lifepod. He was running checks on the lifepods at the time and so was super close and didn't have time to wait for someone else to board, despite the lifepod being 2 berth. Also, this might explain why some things get messed up in the lifepods and flotation devices fail, because they were still under maintenance. Additionally, Ryley probably knew which lifepod had the best bet of surviving planetfall, which is why lifepod 5, the one he chose, survived.
