Cedar Point roller coaster accident injures 9
(Friday, May 16, 2008) - At Cedar Point theme park in Sandusky, Ohio, two roller coaster cars collided on the Wildcat roller coaster. Nine people were treated at the park's first aid station for bruises and sprains; one received treatment at a local medical center.
The accident happened when one car failed to roll past the initial incline and rolled backward into another car.

The ride has been shut down.

I wonder how come 9 people got injured, as the cars are only 4 person capacity so two cars colliding would only injure 8 at most? Perhaps they squeezed 5 into the first car and the extra weight led to the rollback?

all the cars had a roof rack fitted over the closed season
