Recall Shinigami are far more durable then humans and they have shown by sheer luck if anything they have survived. Mayuri survived because he had so many body modifications that in the event of such a devastating attack he would be able to escape the situation and survive. Not to out there he is a mad scientist. Everyone else had to strongly rely on the 4th division or the 12th to heal their injuries. The fact being is the vast majority of bad guys dont have that kind of support. We have seen how many times people have been critically injured and someone was there to give them medical attention. Lets recall the same thing happened to Rangiku, because Kira was there to heal her, she lived. These guys arent living just because they either are extremely powerful or are lucky to have available health care on call.
