In the flashback that plays when you meet Paz for the first time in TPP has a retcon where they show the medic yanking out the second bomb out of her vagoo and the helicopter crash is caused by a missile launcher from the enemy chopper. Miller and Ocelot afterwards corroborate on that saying she survived and at then point early in the game, you don't really have any reason to doubt them or Venom's mental state.
