How isn't this the same as going to a theme park then shooting yourself after? :s

Wait, so this roller coaster is scary as hell that it can be used as a form of euthanasia?

Honestly, if I were diagnosed with some terminal illness and was told, with high certainty, that I had only 6 months to live, I could see this contraption being useful.

I would come up with a bucket list, and do as many things as possible on that list. Then, before I die, I would have a nice final talk with friends and family, and then get on that roller coaster. It's much more exciting than closing your eyes for the last time on a hospital bed.

No disrespect, but I laughed when I read, "10g's". Holy crap! lol

I don't think that it will ever be put to use, but that's pretty interesting.

If I only had one day left to live, then I would use this for one last thrill while I'm trippin out on acid. Would be one hell of a ride.

I don't really understand the artist's message here. The way I see it, typically when one chooses suicide, they undergo a emotionally, and maybe even physically painful process. The thought experiment of using a roller coaster for suicide would be to pass away while happy and excited instead. The last bit of meaning in that person's life would simply be pleasure rather than achievement. To me, that theme is quite generic, shallow, and has been done already. Am I missing anything here?

Might be a more humane way to execute criminals?


Lethal injection is pretty humane. They feel nothing, I'm pretty sure. Whereas G-LOC and other associated events aren't very pleasant as they are kicking in before death. It'd be closer to drowning every criminal on death row than it would be a peaceful death, at least relative to the injection.


If a lethal injection is done wrong, which it is more than 60% (from what i heard in a documentary) it can cause the victim an incredible amount of pain, and since one of the chemicals they use in the injection is a paralyzing agent, they have no way of letting their pain out via scream.

Hypoxia is humane and can almost be euphoric in some situations.


Not that I want to challenge the great world of documentary films, but.. how would they know if it was done in such a way that the inmate felt pain if he's now dead? Is it blatantly obvious, like the needle never even touched a vain? Or is it closer to "we think he may have felt pain, because of x and y, but really we'll never know"?



Like the people doing it had no idea what they were doing because they wern't real doctors, they were more like a doctors aid type of thing and would inject intramuscular

no, you wouldnt die because its scary -.- read the OP or watch the video interview
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

Side story 1: At Magic Mountain in California they have a ride called the Goliath that has a huuuuuge drop, apparently 35% (99% sure this is false as thats WAY to high of a ratio that they wouldnt do something about it) of people experience a minor black out on that ride because of the G force coming out of the drop...I like to think myself a fit and awesome person, but i had a moment of blackoutyness...

Side story 2: Looking at the drawing I dont know that you would need that many loops to actually kill you. Most roller coasters have a tear drop shaped loop, not a circle as the gforces exerted in a circle loop are to intense for most people.

Otherwise, im totally going to be first in line, i love roller coasters

When reading this I immediately thought of all the coasters I made in the game Roller Coaster Tycoon that flew right off the track, but this guy is really taking the idea to new heights.


Quite literally, you only were let to take a roller coaster to about 300 feet into the sky in the game

Yea. You could raise the land as high as possible, then build the coaster as high as possible above the land, and then use those speed-up parts of track to get it to maximum speed before falling down, then drop it down to the very bottom of the map, far underground, and then try the loop.

I did that one time when I was curious (I had to sell every ride in a big park to get enough cash for it). I remember it was some crazy g-forces (well above 10), but nobody died from it -_-

Crazy idea, makes sense kind of. What if the person changes their mind mid ride? There should be an abort button...
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
