Yeah, this only works if the two tracks are farther apart than the trolley’s trucks

That makes more sense, lol. It would probably just derail and kill everyone then, highly ethical outcome.

I’ve never understood why people have such a hard time with the trolley problem. Obviously, if you pre-emptively move that lone guy over to the rail with the five, you can hit all six at once to maximize your score. Just requires a bit of setup.

Simply hit all six with multi track drifting

Y’all kids and your speedrun strats. Some of us have poor reaction time and need to perform safety setups.

That’s exactly what I think would happen with the derailing technique described here. Plus you might lose A couple in the trolley as well.

Or just do whatever you feel like in the moment and then jump in front of the trolley to escape all consequences.

Or the trolley potentially carrying dozens of people falls over, killing and injuring more people than would have been otherwise.

A train wagon easily weights 20 tonnes and more. If it goes just at 50 kph, it has an impulse of 278.000 kg*m/s. Respectively 278.000 Ns. According to some googling human bones tend to break at around a force of 4.000 N.

Realistically the train is just going to flatten whatever flesh and bones are between the wheel and tracks.

It very well might. But then you have to add the people on the tracks to the death count.
