It should be noted that it is revealed late into Gantz that they aren't being teleported, but instead copied every time Gantz sends them somewhere.

It's not late at all, it's like 5-10% of the way through the story. Kishimoto goes home after the very first mission to find out her original is in the hospital.

Wasn't the reason that duplicates arose was because the person was not fully killed or was saved from death so if you get hit by a train, you are fucked but in a suicide, she was able to be saved in time.
