Your hypothetical strapped 495 people to train tracks, you absolute monster! Statically, about forty of those 495 have serious chronic back pain, too. You obviously don't care about the disabled. Be more careful next time when changing the number of doors in a Monty Hall problem!
On the other hand, statistically, the chance of anyone dying is much much lower
their back pain is in service of the greater good. with an extra 485 people strapped to the tracks the chances of anyone dying goes from 33% to 1%. i did it for the people
