 <ow:body>The result of the entanglement of the buffers of adjacent vehicles traversing sharp curves. As straight track is regained, the buffers force the vehicles off the track and cause a derailment. The cause is usually poor buffer design or the use of vehicles over lines for which they were not designed. The oval buffer was introduced in the 1880s to try to reduce buffer locking. </ow:body>
