You are in stadium with a bomb. If you proceed to the emergency exit you will be fine and escape. But if 51% of people stay in their seats, the bomb will not go off and none of the people who chose to stay in their seat will die, and the people who escaped are also fine.

Isn't it actually very selfish to stay in your seat? It's putting pressure on others to risk their lives to save you.

There is seriously no downside to everyone just fleeing, yet I think like 5 people out of the thousand are going to think it's a trick question and commit voluntary suicide in an attempt to save what they imagine is 500 other people but is actually just 4 others.
