There are several beam splitters between accellerator and targets, and 
there, the beam bends.  If the beam hits the beam splitter, it will quickly 
heat up, and become radioactive.  Not a good option.

AFAIK parts of the accelerator in Garching had been shut down for 
maintenance in the past, but never everything, and therefore, the control 
system always was active.  That doesn't mean all nodes were active; and all 
parts are redundant.

Section 4.4 contains some easy to understand explanations how this part 
works:
