I played this the other day.
1). Borrow a trolley (or hire one from Tesco's for a pound). Don't steal one because stealing is bad.
2). Consume plenty of alcohol; it minimises the pain factor.
3). Use the plastic bags that the alcohol comes in (assuming you got plastic bags; if not then ignore this rule) to cushion the inside of the trolley.
4). Transport both yourself and your (borrowed trolley; see rule 1 for more details) trolley to a suitable location for partaking in Trolley-X.
5). A suitable location is considered to be one that consists of a good run up area followed by a steep downward hill.
6). Get the rider into the trolley (do what ever it takes; threaten or bribe them if you have to).
7). Get previously mentioned trolley rider to ring up one of their friends on their mobile whilst still in their trolley. Observers are permitted to do the same.
8). When the rider states that they are either in the position to leave an answer machine message or are in fact talking to their friend a 'team' or pushers pushes the trolley bob-sleigh style towards the hill.
9). When the trolley starts running down the hill; the team of pushers stop pushing and start laughing. At this point anyone on mobile phones should start giving a direct commentary.
10). When the trolley falls over ('cos it ALWAYS happens; you can't beat the game!) everyone should try and help the rider and try not to laugh to much at their pain.
11). If the rider ever chickens out... don't let them ever live it down.
