If the cars are on an incline when they're uncoupled, they might run down the hill and derail due to excessive speed or reaching the end of the line.
If this is what is being referred to, use the apostrophe to set the handbrake on the consist before uncoupling the cars.

Last night, I uncoupled the cars (about 12 gravel-filled hoppers) on a level track, and as soon as I uncoupled them, within one second actually, I clicked on the lead car and hit the "A" key... the cars derailed immediately. What did I do wrong?
It didn't work for me... and these cars were barely moving when they got to the railend:
I'm only guessing here, but it could be that there using TS2009/10 and you are using TRS2006, which is very un-forgiving.It didn't work for me... and these cars were barely moving when they got to the railend:
Don't click on anything. Just hit the "A" key. By the way, I am using TRS 2006 and use the "A" key all the time to stop moving cars and locomotives. I should also note that I usually use "DCS" mode. I cannot vouch for "CAB" mode.

Perhaps if you place a "FRED Flag Only" (which is a drivable asset) at the bumper, it would stop cars from running off, and derailing ?
I'm using 2006 also. I made a "HUMP" yard, about 1/4 mile long---- flat terrain, with a small hump in the track... I back the loco up to the hump and uncouple boxcars and other rolling stock and immediately stop the locomotive. The cars roll down the yard tracks very slowly. I estimate about 5 mph. When they bump the buffer, 9 times out of 10 they de-rail. What can I say?
I remember when Auran released the last service pack for TRS2006, one of the issues addressed was "---railends will now stop rolling stock." Apparently, it isn't working very well.

Another option might be to set the "derail realism" in start up options (I think). Set it to "none".
Mine's been set to "none" for years. Doesn't stop derailments.
I've been playing around with this for you and maybe it would work if you placed an invisible loco on an invis track with invis buffer after the visible buffer, your setting is "none" for derailments so this should just couple and not derail at about 5mph
its a bit of a pain but might work for you. I hope you get what I'm trying to say here !

sorry, one more thing the visible buffer needs to be over the front end of the invis loco, you will need to play around with it to get it in the exact position you need so the in driver it will just look like the cars have stopped at the buffer, also remember to uncouple from invis loco when you next move them
