Folks...the answer is right in front of us....Max Rebo's organ is an escape pod...Bib and the others podpooled out of there...nuff said...lol

I would say just chalk them up as dead and move on. While I'd say his survival is more plausible than others we've seen, it's quite a stretch in my mind. SW seems to have developed a "miraculous survival" issue and it really needs to stop. The impact of death is becoming less and less. Maybe Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru undergo countless skin grafts and 10 years in a bacta tank later... they make their triumphant return! Maybe Mace Windu landed on a marshmallow factory and has been living in the slums of Coruscant, just biding his time to return!

Hopefully Beru has got a new outfit because that former Cosplay opportunity needs a serious upgrade
When Luke is fighting on the deck you see some minions fleeing him in the direction of the deck gun, you don't see them actually jump overboard.
Nobody could have assumed... but one big impact from the deck gun, and a couple "minor" explosions before the big one... it's anybody's guess at that point. In theory, they had 26 seconds (actually 14 seconds) to decide if jumping overboard was a better idea than staying on the ship. Again, just timed it... the barge dropped to the sand at 12 seconds after the gun fired and the first explosions at the back of the ship occurred. They rescued the droids and sped off, and then the big bang. Not a lot of time to decide to save your own life.
If the "chosen one" can jump off a speeder and fall hundreds of feet onto another moving vehicle, who's to say Windu couldn't at the very least aim himself at a nearby fluffy trash bin outside of "Crazy Zito the Hutt's, mattress factory?" #Windulives

And let's say Bib did somehow survive the concussion of the initial blasts or had a premonition to jump ship before the blasts, what's the most likely scenario of him surviving the desert? I don't see him being a very hearty survivalist sort. "Rescue" by Tuskens? Maybe he was able to send an SOS to the palace? Maybe the barge had extra speeders or swoops he was able to commandeer juuuust in the nick of time (which I think happens in the EU)? There's a lot of things that have to work out just so for him to survive...and wouldn't you know it!... it looks like they happened! lol!
Maybe the flashbacks will address all this but it bothers me just as much that there's been no explanation or even reference of his miraculous survival thus far.
It allllllmost feels like the powers that be at LFL forgot he was on the barge at all. For that matter, same goes for Max Rebo, assuming that's even him.

In reference to the way the barge exploded, no one could explain it better than this:

It's honestly the most eloquent way to describe it.

Being facetious)You know i'm sick and tired of this discrimination between the good guys and the bad guys...All the bad guys get a second chance but the good guys don't? I mean Maul gets cut in Two...falls down a shaft..Boba falls into the Sarlacc...Palps..falls down a shaft...Captain Phasma...now Bib...Jason Voorhees, michael myers and Freddy get destroyed and yet they all live, but Quigon gets stabbed, Yoda dies of old age, Obiwan, well..disappears, Han solo gets stabbed, Leia? don't get me started, survives space but dies of a broken heart and Luke ? well...somehow exerts himself too much and they all died and don't come back...except maybe as ghosts...and yet its so hard to believe that 1 good guy...1 Jedi Master (Mace)who got his hand severed(not his whole body)falls out a window(not down a shaft, and somehow can't live?....come on folks...lets be consistent here...lol

Convicted prisoners are assigned to work programs. Captured prisoners during a time of war are sometimes forced to work in labor camps. But they aren't bought/sold as commodities. And though their existence while a prisoner is not meant to be pleasant, they aren't usually subjected to torture.
That being the case, IMHO I still think that Boba is best described as a "captured prisoner," not a "slave," whacks with a stick notwithstanding.

How about rescue by the Jawas. If Bib is uninjured he can definitely bargain passage back to civilization. My or may not have been the same group that found Boba. All the scavengers in the area would be heading towards the explosion.
Post Disney acquisition reference books (from before the Boba series), already note the band as surviving and breaking up afterwards.

I just watched the scene again and I'm not sure that there aren't some time jumps throughout the scene. Nothing major, maybe adding up to a minute or two, but there seem to be some time jumps. But even if there weren't, there did seem to be a lot of party goers below decks scrambling and running about when the fighting starts in earnest, esp. once Leia closed the shutters and starts strangling Jabba. Plenty of time there for Bib to decide that it was probably a good time to get going while the going was still good.When Luke is fighting on the deck you see some minions fleeing him in the direction of the deck gun, you don't see them actually jump overboard.

How he managed to get back to Jabba's palace after jumping ship, who knows. But I could easily see him calling for help once on the sand, ordering someone in the motor pool to send over a speeder or something. As Jabba's majordomo, who's going to question his orders, esp. if they don't know what's going on at the Sarlaac pit and that Jabba's dead.

I guess Jawas could've done it although they didn't help Boba. Although he was in no position to bargain. I do think it's funny that at least in my mind, I used to think of Jawas as more cute than threatening and Tuskens were scary. The shows have now made me think of Tuskens more sympathetically and that Jawas are just little a$$holes. lol
That's interesting about Max Rebo. So I wonder what Disney's take is on their survival then. Whatever Disney's logic is for them surviving could apply to Bib.
I think that when Leia closed the shutters & started strangling Jabba, that's when NO ONE tried to help & everyone started abandoning ship, figuratively & literally.
Maybe Bib offered them salvage rights to the Sail Barge wreck and anything on site which, technically, would include Boba when he arrived.

Yeah that's about the only window of time when any escape seems most plausible.
