What is a "runaway"?

A runaway is a device or system that moves without control, often due to a malfunction or failure in its mechanisms. This lack of restraint can lead to hazardous situations, especially when the system, like a train, continues to move uncontrollably. Without proper control or stopping ability, it can cause accidents or damage. Runaways are particularly dangerous in transportation systems, as they can result in collisions or other serious incidents.
