I agree. I also think this is why Christian stated in his problem setup for Quantum Russian Roulette that the participants are put into a deep sleep before they are potentially killed. If the method of death is quick enough, or if you aren't conscious when it occurs, then you shouldn't be shunted into any alternative world-lines.
Quick death is fine. I just wanted to put up a realistic scenario which is very gentle and minimally scary.
It is more plausible to be able to struck death in a deep sleep without your noticing. If I say, you get struck by a lighting, then your first reaction would have been: "OUCH!".
But if you get sedated by some strong drug then it's sounds much more plausible to be a painless "experience".
