Ok, this is one of the weirdest theories I have heard, and from what QM I do know, it makes sense, but as for now I know my knowledge of QM is lacking to a great extent and I have placed this on the back burner to treat and an interesting plot device.
Anyways, it goes like this. Take a man and shoot him in the head (not really). Now, there are a large number of possibilities, with most of them killing him. Insert many world's theory, where every possibility comes true, only in a different time line. Now, because of the nature of death, the man cannot observe the possible time lines in which he dies, forcing him to observe the ones in which he doesn't. Ergo, if you were that man, you would survive it, though if you were not that man, he would probably die.
One catch, just because you live doesn't mean you are in good health. For ever 'possibility' of you being in good health, there are a number of bad ones.
Anyways, what I think is fun is if you extend this theory. We come to a slight problem. We never die, though everyone around us will and our own state will deteriorate. Sooner or later, we'll be left as a vegetable constantly approaching death but never reaching it. This state I have personally decided to term 'quantum hell'. What are other peoples' thoughts (and if you didn't get it earlier, I'm not taking this serious, but like a fun conspiracy theory).

(But then my knowledge of QM comes from John Gribbin 
).
