    Hiking

    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.

    Not sure this would pass healthy and safety regs :)
