Dont they need to be hovering mid air for either to happen? I am trying to imagine how would a moving portal teleport a person laying down without teleporting the ground beneath him. I think neither a or b would happen, I think they would be draggen on the ground and splattered, but if I HAVE to choose, I say A is more likely. Because they are laying and not hovering I dont think they will be launched.

However, the portal is moving. So if we look at this relative to the portal, they would moving into the portal. I imagine they would get shot out along with the rails. Of course, they’ll eventually plop back down, so it really could be A if the trolley was moving quite slow.
