[Avodah] Lo Taamod

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

Rav Asher Weiss discusses in parshat Vayeitzeih on lo taamod al dam reiacha that one would have to give up all his assets to save a single life if he is the only one who can do it. However, "it's pashut" that if others can also do it, that he doesn't have to give up all his assets. Why is it so pashut if others refuse? (i.e. why isn't it a joint and several liability?)
