Slowed down Runaway Mine Train

I'm guessing it's fed up running away

That wouldn't happen. The headchoppers would have passed the safety envelope test before the ride was opened to the public, if there was any risk of a rider being able to touch them they wouldn't have been there in the first place.

I know the rides have been though this and other safety tests but on the second helix when the track goes under itself , just before the tunnel/camera, if I'm sitting on the left hand side of the train I can easily touch the supports for the track above.Now it maybe because I am quite tall but it does get very close and ,by the look of the handprints in the dirt, other people can reach it too.

I've got this photo from a P.O.V video of the ride it's not perfect but it illustrates the point

I will put my hand up (lol) and say I'm guilty of doing that

Does it not hurt? I'm sure quite a few people with long limbs could reach the wooden beams which aren't there. I was only around 1/2 foot off and I'm small. :lol
