Surely gravity would've done the job, release the brakes or whatever, and it should slide down.

Isnt it?

Surely if you can have an emergency generator to kick in and keep a whole hospital running (life support, etc.) you can have a simil;ar setup on a roller coaster?

Must admit I was wondering why there wasn't a back up generator or some other type of contingency for this kind of senario

Maybe it was dangerous to move the cart without power as the brakes might have failed.
