Line 26:
[[Mechanics]] fix this breakdown by hitting the brakes at the back end of the station five times with a hammer. The brakes will resume functioning immediately after the fifth hit.
 
In RCT2, this breakdown is known as "Brakes Failure".  Reverse-incline launched coasters, as well as most powered launch coasters, are now affected by this breakdown in a similar manner to single-train rides, as the station brakes no longer stop trains moving backwards. On the other hand, reverse-incline launched shuttle coasters cannot actually crash from brakes failure as they will continue doing extra circuits for as long as they are broken down, but they will never gain enough speed to fly off the track. Rides running in "Continuous circuit block-sectioned mode" with one or more block brake track pieces (including the crests of lift hills or a cable lift hill) are also unaffected by this breakdown. Additionally, block brake track pieces are completely immune to this breakdown; as such, it is possible to use them to slow down trains to safe speeds before entering the station when regular continuous circuit mode is used. Furthermore, the Mine Ride, [[Inverted Impulse Coaster]], [[Heartline Twister Coaster]], [[Air Powered Vertical Coaster]], [[Reverse Freefall Coaster]], and [[Alpine Coaster]] (in OpenRCT2 only) also cannot experience this breakdown. In all other respects, it is the same as its RCT1 iteration with the exception that it now normally occurs on rides that have less than 50% reliability and are at least two years old, thus making it rarer in occurrence than before.
 
In RCT3, the severity of this breakdown becomes a non-issue on continuous circuit rides as vehicles never crash and explode regardless of how hard they impact another vehicle in front of them.
