oops our more portly members are fecked

What about pushing the fat guy off the bridge then claiming he selflessly jumped?

That way he dies a hero, the five other people survive, and you don't get done for murder?

Win-win-win!!

What happens if the fat guy doesn't quite die. Do you try to "rescue" him and ensure he doesn't live to tell his tale?

Actually scrub that as that plan would make you into a hero so it's

win 5 people saved
win 1 fat person selflessly kills themselves
win you aren't done for murder
win you look like a hero at the same time.

Ummm also would it make a difference if it was pushing a fat woman off a bridge?

Or a fat trans person?

Why does it have to be a man?

Seems sexist to me.

A fat trans person? I'd push it off the bridge, train or no train. I am of course joking.

What about Duty to rescue - Wikipedia?

I was wondering if there's an argument to be had about the unintended consequences of doing nothing.

Other than being racked with survivors guilt, of course.

What if the 5 people don't want saving? Can they sue you?

Not sure I would sacrifice a fat bloke to save people who aren't bright enough to get out of the way of a train. Diabetes and cholesterol will take care of tubby soon enough. Happy to let natural selection to take them all out of the gene pool.

This question did the rounds on LinkedIn.

The overall conclusion was that the OP was a twat.
