A Roller Coaster Designed to Kill People
According to artist Julijonas Urbonas's website, his work Euthanasia Coaster is "a hypothetic roller coaster, engineered to humanely—with elegance and euphoria—take the life of a human being."

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.

What a dick head. He even has it tattooed on his arm. Hopefully it is built and he is the first one to use it. What people will do for their 15 minutes of fame.

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.

Cool...

With automation, after the "Coaster" expires your group, you could roll the Coaster into an inverted mode, release the seat-belts and latches over a giant collection bin.

Re: A Roller Coaster Designed to Kill People
that's a dumb way to kill them though, asphyxiation from centrigual force?


you could just slam them into the wall at 200mph, be quicker and easier.

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?

I approve of this rollercoaster, just imagine if we had a couple dozens of these operating 24/7 we could cut back a few billion people in no time at all.

Re: A Roller Coaster Designed to Kill People
Why not an elevator drop simulator ride where they just take you up 20 stories and push you off a platform?.....Much easier to design and cheaper construction costs.banana2

Re: A Roller Coaster Designed to Kill People
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.

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)
