That was just asking for trouble.) so it lodged there. The following balls did not have nearly enough speed to knock the first one loose, so they accumulated. There may have been some slight effect from the stuck ball pulling the rails down and changing their slope, but it was primarily the speed bump effect.
Ah makes more sense now. but the ball flying into the rail is so surreal, imagine where the ball would fly if the rail wasn't there!
