PoE 2, Atlas | What happens if you cut your startng area off from the rest of Atlas by failing maps?

In the PoE 2 endgame reveal it has been said that "If you die [in a map], then the map can no longer be run, and you will have to find another way to the areas around it". This implies that one can, by failing all of the outermost maps they can path to, cut a finite region containing their starting point from the rest of the Atlas, thus bricking their Atlas, since they will be left with a finite amount of maps they can path to, an will eventually complete/fail them all.

So, the question is: will there be a way to recover from that?
This probably feels like "you can only do this intentionally" type thing, but, given that each map seems to open paths to 1-3 new maps, bricking their Atlas will be the expected outcome for anyone with >50% map failure rate. Which, given that PoE 2 seems to put much heavier emphasis on player-skill-challenge in it's combat, will probably be a not-insignificant number of people.

(Also i want to know purely out of curiosity, and would prefer not needing to risk loosing the ability to play the end-game in order to get the answer).

This has already been answered. You can reset your atlas in that case.
