Why a broken garage door extension spring drops the door instead of just slowing it

Extension springs stretch out along the tracks above the door and do the actual lifting; the opener only guides a door that's already balanced by that stretch. Once one spring snaps, the other side is carrying weight it was never sized to hold alone, and the door comes down crooked or refuses to move at all. Leaving it that way for even a day or two is usually what turns a spring call into a track and roller call as well.
