I don't get it. What is the downside of pulling the lever? It's if you don't pull you die. If you do, you may not die.

It's not like anyone else is laid on the other side of the tracks in either scenario so what's even the dilemma here?

Also how are the dice relevant?

You are on the side track in scenario A. You die if you pull. Ironically, you'd be killing yourself. The dice are to make the two scenarios not equally likely.
