I'd be willing to bet that most non-Disney monorails don't operate in such a reckless matter such as moving backwards on an operating beam while overriding the safety system to remove the trains. And say what you will, that Disney policy, and OSHA agrees with me, was absolutely reckless. Just because there hadn't been an accident until now doesn't mean it wasn't dangerous.
The monorail was not operating in the way you described when the accident occurred.
While this was definitely the fault of the CMs involved, it was Disney's reckless policy that ultimately led to this. If you develop a policy that needlessly overrides a safety feature designed to prevent accidents, then the policy is wrong.
There was nothing wrong with the old policy, if the cast members had followed the policy no accident would have occurred. If cast members make mistakes and don't follow the new current policy accidents can still happen. Nothing has changed things are just done slightly differently than before, but the core problem remains. You obviously don't have a clear understanding of how monorails work and taking that into account I can see how you could come to the conclusion you have but it's just not an SOP problem.
