Well he was an emotional mess at that point. His best friend Will had disappeared without a trace. He just had a big fight with Lucas. The first girl whom he had started to develop feelings for and who was his only source to find Will had ran away because of him. And on top of everything the bullies were now going to hurt the only friend by his side.
He was desperate and hopeless with limited options at that moment. He probably thought the only way to save his friend was by sacrificing himself. That and the fact that he is a 12 year kid who didn't fully think of the consequences of his actions.

He did say a friend is someone you would do anything for.

Wasn’t it said earlier that one dude claimed to have made the jump before? I assumed Mike had heard that, and assumed it was survivable
