In a vacuum where I knew nothing in advance about myself or those on the track, I would morally advocate my jumping. But I think it’s rather plausible I’ll go on to save far more than just five more lives in my lifetime than the average person would, should I stay alive. So by not jumping, I actually save more people. (Though this might just be a convenient rationalization.)
