Not participating in the trolley problem does not remove questions of moral responsibility. You had the choice to throw the lever, you said "either outcome is fine".

That's your choice. "I don't participate at all" doesn't work unless it makes the whole trolley go poof.

There are more moral frameworks out there than just utilitarianism.

As the eminent philosopher[0] opined:

   You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
   If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
   You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
   I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Free will
