The 1+1+1... Track, because it's objectively the better option. The trolley will not last forever, so the more moral option when facing two "infinite death" scenarios is the minimize the kills per second, and the top track is less densely packed.
Yeah, but the bottom ones reincarnate.
So of you go with the bottom one, everyone will survive
That's... Much more sensible actually
In this exact scenario, I feel like the bottom track would slow the trolley down quicker, no? There is no room to stabilize, just pure flesh on wheel, 24/7. Not to mention the constant sharp turns, I think it would topple over long before the top one reaches its final kill count.
I feel like the spirit of the situation requires a trolley that can run infinitely and which successfully kills any person it touches and isn't impeded by people
