Abstract: The singularity at a simultaneous binary collision is explored in the collinear 4-body problem. It is known that any attempt to remove the singularity via block regularisation will result in a regularised flow that is no more than $C^{8/3}$ differentiable with respect to initial conditions. Through a blow-up of the singularity, this loss of differentiability is investigated and a new proof of the $C^{8/3}$ regularity is provided. In the process, it is revealed that the collision manifold consists of two manifolds of normally hyperbolic saddle singularities which are connected by a manifold of heteroclinics. By utilising recent work on transitions near such objects and their normal forms, an asymptotic series of the transition past the singularity is explicitly computed. It becomes remarkably apparent that the finite differentiability at $8/3$ is due to the inability to construct a set of integrals local to the simultaneous binary collision. The finite differentiability is shown to be independent from a choice of initial condition or value of the masses.
