ur right ur right, i was being videogame brained.
The loop and the many little turns may reduce momentum enough to save some people, depending on how fast the trolley was already going
The tram will be traveling the loop at close to the speed of light.
Due to special relativity it will be shorter as it goes through the loop, so the wheels will fit the tracks perfectly when observed from the lever.
There’s a chance of anything at any time.
For example, yesterday there were tornados here. A lot of people lost power. I live in an apartment building.
Floors 1-4 have power. Floors 5-7 no power. I can’t explain HOW that’s possible, but clearly there was a chance.
The chance for the trolly to fail on the loop or derail on the bend is much higher.
pull it that they might live.
or, since you’re ahead of it, pull it, then try to get on board and stop it
