Here is the report I have...
A guest utilizing an ECV with a child in their lap lost control coming up the ramp and hit the door full speed. The door initially bucked from the train after the impact and the cast quickly deadheaded the car and notified maintenance. While trying to realign the door and secure it for the train to travel to MK for a further inspection the door came disconnected from the top actuator arm and fell down. There was no guests in the car at that time. From there the train was deadheaded and put out of service. Nothing failed on the train or was damaged. The door was pushed up during impact, the bottom actuator was bent up and the top slipped off of its mounting point.

Said guest is clearly just practicing for when they do the same thing to bigger doors when Black Friday begins.

Wow! I've never seen the beams that clean! Amazing what they can do with modern technology...

Yea, plastic does tend to leave fewer rubber tire marks or petroleum based lubricant spray. Wait that might be the answer. All plastic monorail trains and tracks. Would have been cheaper too.

Everyone is so worried about the Monorails, This time they are not to blame despite the desperate need of replacement. Why isn't anyone talking about the ECVs. I'm waiting for Ralph Nader to write a new book: "ECVs: Unsafe at any speed" Where is that investigator that investigated the unintended acceleration problem for Audi? Heck, someone should alert the NTSB about those ECVs. I can hear a new Chrismas song: "Granma ran over a monorail door....."
I once saw a visitor in a museum-provided ECV inadvertently back into a giftshop display case full of very expensive airplane models, priceless and irreplaceable vintage aircraft parts, and two bottles of very rare brandy.
When alerted that they were about to upend a very expensive display case, the visitor panicked and hit the forward button, toppling a display of neatly stacked ceramic coffee cups and shot glasses.

Until you realize anyone on a ECV wouldn't be able to actually move around the parks with a system like that.

And yet the constant preaching about how easy and relaxing it is for "lazy" people to get around Disney and to the front of the line. I'm going to keep saying this until it sinks in. I truly hope that none of those that are constantly complaining and fabricating the problem with ECV use never find themselves in need of one. Payback will be hell on that one.
Once word gets out about that feature, it should drastically reduce the number of ECVs in the parks.

I've seen many ECVs that weighed much less than 350 LBs.
