I think MWI does guarantee that in some worlds the man will fall off the cliff.
That's very true. In that regard the Man on the Cliff probably wasn't the best example. It was meant to show that infinite iterations does not guarantee an infinite possibility set or that all possibilities will be realized. So in this context, the MWI doesn't guarantee that any scenario you can envision is happening in an alternate world.
