It’s common practice for roller-coaster pull through testing, which reveals clearance issues.
I can think of a handful of rides where structural modifications were required after the fact due to a failure during these tests... Millennium Force’s first overbank turn probably being the scariest!
(That scallop in the one support arm was added after the ride was built, but before opening. I think about it every time I ride!)
