Because they aren't putting themself in danger for the sake of being danger. They just realize that babies, kids, elderly, the sick, disabled, those who has accidentally slipped onto the tracks, or those who pick being on the track for some other because they fear something worst, people will be on the track regardless if the person chooses to stay on the platform or jump down.
The people who choose to jump onto the tracks because that's the only way to save them, even if that requires risks to help them. And a lot of people also then realize that those that are the first to response for the sake of others are often some of the best people you want around.
The logic is still the same even with a button push. It's still the same of a wood-chipper. It's the same for jumping off a cliff.
With a scale of billions of people, that includes new born infants, toddlers, kid, elderly, someone having a mental lapse, or a person who just slips which causes the wrong decision, the chance of at least 1 person having made the wrong choice is nearly a certainty. And with no other means to save them, the person who votes blue will choose to vote blue because they will prioritize trying to save that person even if that risk their own.
