Of course,
after all there is not much in a MagLev-Train.
Everything is lightweight and as it has no engine
(as the engine for the train is for most parts in the railtracks)
the train is mostly just a lightweight shell surrounding a large passenger compartment.
The train normally isn´t meant to hit obstacles

As it is routine that the mainentance car drives along the tracks once a day IMHO there will be little doubt that the accident was caused by human failure (after all you should expect that the people who are responsible for starting the Transrapid know where the maintenance car is located). And in contrast to the Transrapid the maintenance car isn´t MagLev powered, had it been this way the accident never would have happened, but the maintenance car would have driven before the Transrapid in an short distance (for commercial Transrapid tracks there will be MagLev driven maintenance cars)
