    It isn’t always binary (dead vs alive) you are more likely to slip, fall and become disabled. How does that fit the quantum immortality?

      As JcbAzPx said, you’ll continue in all timelines where you’re alive. No matter of how injured you are. Eventually, you’ll be just a brain kept alive through thermal fluctuation. (Theoretically, entropy can spontaneously go down, the chances of this happening going down exponentially the more entropy we’re talking about. Think about shuffling a deck of cards, and getting a completely sorted deck of cards. Certain at 1 card, 25% chance at 2 cards, and basically zero at a full deck, but still theoretically possible.) Eventually, you’ll be a disembodied brain suffering for all eternity from phantom pain.

        My dude, you are just a cloud of random particles interacting in space whose unpredictable fluctuations have resulted in a structure exactly mimicking a human brain, complete with memories and knowledge of “the universe”

      You continue in any time lines you’re still alive in. Even if you don’t want to be.
