I am confused as to why anyone would not flip the switch? Flipping the switch seems to have somewhere between a 10% and 100% chance of saving your life, and not flipping the switch seems to guarantee death?

Is there some kind of penalty to flipping the switch that I am missing?

Or is the drawing misleading, and in Scenario B, there is also supposed to be a person drawn on the other track?

I think in Scenario A you die if you flip the switch.
