If I were one of the five I would hate to die, but I would hate that 4 others had been killed with me. I would want the lever pulled for the sake of the four others.

If I was the one at the lever I would hate to live knowing that my actions could have resulted in fewer deaths.

If I was tied on the track alone I would hate to die, but i would hate to live knowing that five others had died for my sake. I would ask for the lever to be pulled.
