moral dilemma cause i'm bored

>Let's say you one day see a 20 something ready to throw themselves of a bridge, and are suddenly granted with intricate knowledge of their life. Right now the 20 something, let's call them K, is extremely mentally ill and truly detached from society. They have no friends, no job or other responsibilities, they have forgone their lease and live in a car, are in no contact with their family, and have had no close human contact for over a year. If they were to die right now, truly no one would care. Their body would never be found, and it would be like they never existed at all.

>However, if you choose to step in and save K, they will go on to live their life, make new friends, fall in love, get married and have kids, and lead a somewhat happy life. However, depression secretly gnaws away at them, and eventually a few years down the line, there's an 80% chance K hangs themselves in the garage, forever traumatizing their partner, their young children and all of their loved ones. Knowing this, would you choose to save K or let them jump?

>80% he'll kill him
why such a high percentage? i get the depression gnawing away at him, but i feel like it would be much lower given the circumstances. which is why i would save him.
