@PhilosophyExp the trolley loopback implies the trolley is going to run over all six people whether or not you switch. Is this correct?
@hazfiend No, if you switch, you run over one, rather than five. (The one is stuck in the siding you're going to turn the trolley into).

@PhilosophyExp the popup image showed the track looped so if you kept on you killed all five plus the sixth man. This changes the situation. -
@hazfiend If you turn, you kill 1 & the train stops. The train stops coz running over people means it grinds to a halt. 2/2 -
@PhilosophyExp Surely then the situation is just the same as without the loopback? When it was a simple choice of 1 / 5 -
@hazfiend No, because in the loopback situation the presence of the 1 person on the track is an integral part of the plan to save the 5.
