    That trolleys going to derail eventually. So the one with more people since they are tightly packed and it can’t build momentum.

      But isn’t it more likely to derail if it gains momentum?

        I expect it would be more able to cleanly cut through the bodies or throw them out of the way with more momentum. If it’s going slow it’s more likely to ride up on top of a body. Anecdotally, I’ve heard that derailers tend not to work on fast moving trains.

        Not if the track is perfectly straight.

          There are People lying on it, so it’s probably pretty uneven and bumpy, no?

      “Eventually” on the densely packed track - even if almost instant - means uncountably many deaths. On the upper track, any eventual stop will result in only finitely many deaths.

          Any non-empty interval on the real number line holds uncountably infinitely many points.
