Please Explain 'Red Zone'

It just is what it is.
This statement tells me A) Either the Red Zone is not a warning zone, but a hey, your gonna die zone, nothing you can do, just letting you know or B) the X number of seconds clearly does not take the latency issue into account, which is baffling on a mobile game.
So which is it? Does the warning time need to be tweaked, or is it not really a warning at all, but just an early notification of death?
