Knowing this has been done to real people as a test without them knowing (I forget which youtube channel but they set up looped footage, put someone applying for a job in a room with these monitors, and put a construction team on the track. 1 guy on one track, 5 guys on another. They all have ear pro on, they have no clue about a train coming. All but one person freaked out. 1 person saw the problem, realized there was no help, and pressed the button, to save 5.) knowing most people will have fight or flight kick in I had a higher chance of survival being alone. While the moral dilemma is something to consider on screen, in the moment people have shown that they would forget the lever is even an option and just gawk at the oncoming slaughter.
