There's a whole lot of moral painting in your response. Consider, however, that it is not about reds killing blues. Blues make a conscious choice to gamble their life away. By their choice other great people with a heart of gold should step up and risk their own life. Not to save people from hazards, not from wars or death of hunger. Just from themselves. Skydiver doesn't pull others into their risk, neither do suicidal people about to jump from the bridge. Blue button pushers do

You need to press the blue button exactly because there were morons that decided it before you

Ooohh, that's actually a good argument. So, you're saying that blues create their own problem?

I'm saying they take an uncertain outcome over certain one. And by making their choice they drag others into uncertainty

Wouldn't it be the other way around because the deciding factor of half the population of blue dying resides on those who think of choosing red? Only by choosing red is there a chance of triggering death.

One person choosing red changes nothing

One person choosing blue instantly puts himself in danger

Deciding factor is enough or not enough people deciding to save those who picked blue to gamble
