could be done, would have to have a straight section beforehand that would stop any roll action. Cars would need suspension to deal with the impact and there would need to be a long guide section to get the wheels back on the rails.
Main problem I can see would be the impact of weight distribution over an articulated train, (e.g. if everyone is at the back, will that cause the train to bend?) and what happens if there is a large shock load at the front, how does that affect the rear, will it bend up or whip back down? Probably would be best for single car or single jointed trains.
