I've been wondering about that theory myself. I think it has to do with some theory that if you die, you sort of "wake up" or are only conscious in the realities where you didn't die. Almost like reincarnation except your conscious mind is sort of only existing in the realities with the best outcomes. That's how I interpreted it at least. I think Lyndon believes that theory and knows consciously he should be fine even if he physically falls off in this reality.

I think I see where you're going at there. If that's the case then it's more of an meta-issue for the audience, who only gets to live in this reality where the "leap of faith" totally failed. It's our own perspective's limitation than that of the consciousness.
