Rich people got in the lifeboats first. There weren't enough time so some people jumped out the Titanic. Others held on for their lives hoping they would live, or land in the cold water instead of landing on part of the boat which would kill them.

Did all the people escape from the titanic when it sank?

The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that while the Titanic was well within regulations for her day, she was not legally required to carry enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew on board. A disproportionate number of men died also, due to the women and children first protocol which was followed. ( Wikipedia ).
