Quoting: 0_ During the entry of the first loop of the coaster, the rider would experience GLOC—G-force-induced loss of consciousness—as well as the cerebral hypoxia that is usually accompanied with euphoria.

[link to www.vice.com] That might not even be accurate. There are a lot of coasters with immediate drop+loop - there isn't enough force at terminal velocity in the beginning to cut anything unless you have a weak body (few people actually do pass out on rollercoasters and the like), don't believe this would kill you unless it was on a maglev track. |

Plus someone's gotta unload them, deal with all of that after. Or... Hey, why don't we just make a whole bunch of nuclear bombs? |

User ID: 23688748 United States 12/06/2014 04:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's weird how society takes this stance that humanely ending a life is very difficult to do, and as such requires weird and complex mechanisms, like a roller coaster, to accomplish it. Carbon monoxide gas chamber, people. Lots of people die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning in their own homes. They fall asleep and never wake up. No fear, no sensation of distress from oxygen deprivation, no pain. I do wonder why states/countries that allow the death penalty don't adopt a carbon monoxide system. The information is out there, anyone who was researching more compassionate methods would stumble upon it, so it can't be ignorance. Is it because society deep down wants executed prisoners to suffer in their last moments or something like that? I really don't understand why it's not implemented. |

NewEearth 5D User ID: 65793551 Brazil 12/06/2014 05:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's not a roller coaster designed to kill you, it's designed to give you ultimate fun. It's just so fun that it kills you. Quoting: Eating Cannabis Cures Old Age Riiiight! That on the first loop makes you already unconscious! Anyhow, people have (or should have, actually) the total right to do whatever they wanted with their bodies, since it is (or it was supposed to be) THEIR bodies. It would be a fun way to go it seems! (if this is not entirely fabricated bullshit) |
