Impossible in the unload area. The conveyor system would have the force to do so if there was a jam, then comes the question of why were there so many rafts before the unload jack, as well as why the conveyor was not stopped by the system or operator. We don't know yet.

 

Thanks @MayfairProductions - It is genuinely interesting to hear the perspectives of those who have worked there, so thanks for the post.

There's certainly plenty of precedence of rafts flipping over: http://www.rideaccidents.com/rapids.html
