The difference is that in the lever example someone else tied the person to the track.
Easier to assign all blame to them, then.
And if you can push someone, you could use your own body too. Maybe the scenarios word around that (you have to push somebody and hold the lever, for example).
I imagine the nightmares from pushing a person would be worse than those from pulling a lever.
