What I meant by variations only specific to you would be like The Truman Show, where everything is staged for the main character. This would mean that you only think everything else exists, but it's really only you that exists, and with many worlds there would be different realities you experienced. In that way, you couldn't die because you are the only one doing the observing.

There is a flaw with that wikipedia example (which is based on Schrodinger's cat): the next time you walk into the machine the decay event is different. You could only walk through and find your fate a maximum of one time, win or lose, as the next attempt, if you were around, would be a different decay event.
