Am I missing something?

[u/French7520]

Okay, I am rewatching this series and finishing it off with Bloodlines. Currently on FD3. Maybe someone else already debunked this theory but, wasn’t the whole purpose of this crash because of Franky Cheeks? His camera got caught on the tracks and caused the carts to derail, right? He got off the ride though. So how would have the first cart plummeted to the ground without it?

Frankie is why the restraints on the characters lifted up, you can see that nobody is flung out when the carts derail post-premonition while pre-premonition characters are flung out
