Huh, every time I hear about the trolley problem it's always "now imagine that instead of pulling the lever, you need to push someone onto the track so the trolley stops after that first collision." Some people would pull the lever but not push someone onto the tracks, and that's where it gets interesting.

The difference is that in the lever example someone else tied the person to the track.
Easier to assign all blame to them, then.
