The only kind of rollercoaster you'll ever get me on again is a single carriage one. If they were all not multiple carriages then this particular kind of accident could just never happen - yes the ques would be bigger, but to me that is the singular best safety measure do-able.
I was reading something the other day about how in this particular incident, a test car was sent around and never came back and that the second car should never have been sent with that being the case. It also said something about the "ride segments" and if a car doesn't exit a segment then the next car should not be allowed to enter the segment and the ride should stop....
Surely such a fail-safe is automated rather than manual...? In which case I can't understand how the crash happened - it seems a very logical safety feature to prevent this sort of thing.
