If the thought of a runaway wagon racing towards you at speeds of up to 120mph on the downhill doesn't appeal to you - the Catch Pit might seem like a great health & safety solution. Although as some of the wagons were packed full of gunpowder, I'm still not certain that the Catch Pit was the complete solution.
