Narrative

Employee ALLEGES the mantrip went dead at the top of hill. It rolled back, he pushed the brake pedal down but it busted. He then set the park brake but it didn't work. The rear end of the mantrip went into the rib. The employee complained his lower back was hurt. We DON'T believe the ALLEGED accident occurred due to defective equipment but rather due to the brake lines being cut!
