You are at the trolley switch, and are the CEO of the trolley line. An out-of-control trolley worth $20 million is heading toward a section of track where five workers are trapped. The alternate track is unmaintained, and will probably destroy the trolley beyond repair. Given the average wrongful death payout of one million dollars, you don't pull the switch, but you still face a minority shareholder lawsuit over the time you wasted considering it.
Multi-track drifting?
That's no good, you'll have the 5 wrongful deaths to settle and probably still have to pay for repairs even if the trolley is not fully destroyed. It's your fiduciary duty to not pull the lever.
