This is a spinoff of the Florida beach crash thread. It really got me thinking and I really have to think about this.
Forget being a pilot. Assume a scenario that you're driving a car and you have 5 seconds to make a decision with an inevitable accident. You will either kill some stranger as a result or you can perform an evasive maneuver that will save him but end your life. It is through no fault of yours (i.e., faulty brakes or something) so this is not as if you made a mistake to cause this situation.
Who would you save? Does it matter if you have a significant other, kids, other dependent family? Does it matter who the other person is (child vs. adult vs. elderly person)? Do you think you'd change your mind if you had time to think on it vs. having 5 seconds to decide?
To clarify, you will not be sued or brought on charges or arrested as a result of your decision.
P.S.--Adding dogs to the pole is not an option.
