Jam, if they did that, instead of crashing into the other train, it would fly straight off the track. Just think about it.

I think the best thing that they have to do is to get another track where they can load the riders not on the same track the first train will be launched, so in case like this,, this will avoid the 1st train to crash the 2nd train…. Actually i heard a lot of accident news regarding knott's berry farm's ride..

Knott's Berry Farms needs to do some serious maintinmence projects on their launch coasters. Maybe they should increse the number of inspections, maybe havre an additional one after the parks been open a while, not just when the parks are closed. I don't know anymore than anyone else about this, but but two launch coaster accidents at the same park only about a year between seems aq little suspicious to me.

I was thinking that it would probably be a computer error.

Ya thats probably what happened. Maybe they have to manually press something and they weren't prepared?

There are actually brakes to stop an incident from ocurring. I wonder if they failed to activate…

I'm surprised there were no emergency brakes to prevent a crash from a rollback. Good thing the launch isn't very powerful/fast!
