@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host Yes, setting the switch so it is, say, half open would cause a derailment.
Also, you could throw the switch after the first truck (set of wheels) or wheel has passed the points. So each truck (or wheel) is on a different set of tracks, which causes the trolley to derail.
In both cases, the trolley derails and no one is killed.
Worse case: the trolley derails, keeps going and takes them all out. This is also speed dependent.

@Jason844@mastodon.social Totally agree. Hardly a perfect or predictable solution, but a lot better than the original problem. I like the split trucks solution, of course that assumes that the points can be realigned very quickly.
