If you hit a guard rail at a high enough speed, you'll still wind up going over the cliff. Guard rails aren't there to stop you AT ANY SPEED, but if you happen to find yourself momentarily losing control, you'll glance off the rail instead of just going over the side. The string is there to keep the Wiimote from falling to the ground of from coming out of your hand, but if you throw it around hard enough IT WILL BREAK and cause an accident.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
