I rode the Alpine coaster at Mountain Meadows on Mt. Hood in Oregon ?20? yrs ago, and while getting up to speed near the top I was looking ahead at the track below and saw a 'sled' take off of the track into the large rocks. I rode by too fast to discern details, but warned the attendant at the end of the ride that the sled ahead of me didn't make it. Here's a video of the slide, but not the accident that I saw.
