There are probably very many better ways to solve this runaway trolley problem, but not many worse ones
Some people say that no good deed goes unpunished, and this clip does nothing to contradict that.
As Reddit user nogea noticed, it really could be an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
This needs to be an episode. Dude tried to help but has to pay damages now. Damn.
Perhaps it’s just a warning against trying to stop a runaway trolley with one hand while you film with the other one. Who knows?
When BornAKang tweeted it, the facepalms reverberated through all these responses.

Sometimes it is better to let go things out of control😊

Solar_snack pointed out a much easier – and probably less expensive – solution.
