If a dumbass kid falls in front of my auto car, it better kill the kid and not smash me into the wall.
It's really no different now. Most people aren't going to commit suicide to save a kid too stupid to know not to play in the street. I know I wouldn't.
As far as the trolley problem goes, the five people on the tracks were going to die even if I wasn't at the tracks that day. If I flip the switch, then I am directly responsible for the death of one man. If I don't flip the switch, I do not believe I am at all responsible for the other deaths.
