What is train crash syndrome?

A gaming term.
Train crash syndrome is a effect where you make a single wrong decision, which throws you off and you end up spiraling downwards, ultimately culminating in you failing whatever it is you're trying to do, be it dying, losing a minigame, or running out of time.
Derived from how a crashing train proceeding gets worse as it goes on, as more cars derails and cause more damage.
