The only place a rail handcar can be used is on a connected series of rails. If it leaves the rails, the handcar will fall as a loose [[Items|item]]. It cannot carry more than one [[Blockhead]] during a trip. | The only place a rail handcar can be used is on a connected series of rails.

As rail handcars can leave their rails, it is possible for a handcar to leave the ground. If in the air long enough, upon landing, it will display the number of blocks traveled in the air. However, if a handcar crashes into a solid [[block]] at a high enough speed, the riding Blockhead will lose [[Health Bar|health]]. | As rail handcars can leave their rails, it is possible for a handcar to leave the ground.

While a handcars can be used in only two blocks of vertical [[Air|space]], three are recommended, particularly around changes in elevation. Insufficient height will cause a Blockhead to collide with an overhead block, knocking it off the handcar and the handcar off the rails. | While a handcars can be used in only two blocks of vertical [[Air|space]], three are recommended, particularly around changes in elevation.
