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

Sir the Trolley has derailed in an Ohio neighborhood spilling vinyl chloride everywhere. Lets light it all on fire to get rid of it.
We did it Patrick; we saved the city!

There's an old Talaxian expression: "When the road before you splits in two, take the third path."
Hmm I feel the urge to tuvix...
That's a different story all together. In that case, there really were only 2 options and one was clearly morally wrong so Janeway had to do exactly that
Both choices were morally dubious. Tuvok and Nelix wanted to be alive just as much as Tuvix
That could be misinterpreted to mean “turn around and go back the way you came”
Which would be a valid solution to the trolly problem...

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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
"Well, obviously, the dilemma is clear: how do you kill all six people?"

Well sure Batman can beat the trolley problem with prep time.
Simply hit all six with multi track drifting
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.
Y'all kids and your speedrun strats. Some of us have poor reaction time and need to perform safety setups.

Frame perfect trolley skip
Might need TAS
Life, uh, finds a way.
M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL
VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER
Yeah, this only works if the two tracks are farther apart than the trolley's trucks
The KANSEI-DORIFTO energy generated by the trolley will distort the tracks into an appropriate shape
Nuh uh

what if the trolley running in 88mph?
Then we will see some serious shit!
Then the trolley will fire wheel itself into the future and the people on the tracks will be spared

With a bit of luck the debris will catch all the people tied to the tracks.
