Because it wasn't his "turn," the wizard doesn't run off the edge and there are four empty hexes between the knight and him. In reality, they all would have been in adjacent hexes and thus all would have fallen when the floor dropped out from under them.

Treat the trap as an NPC enemy, give him a place in the initiative and let it use a Wait manoeuvre!
Once they're all on the trap, spring it!
Of course, this only works if they all *end* their move on the trap...
But why use second-by-second turn combat if you're not fighting?
Or if this happens during a fight, just somehow stop the first PC to step on the trap and require everyone else to at least indicate what they're doing. If they all run along with him, the trap catches them all.
