“Euthanasia Coaster” is a hypothetic euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster, engineered to humanely – with elegance and euphoria – take the life of a human being. Riding the coaster’s track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, eventually, death. Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant and meaningful. Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life, this ‘kinetic sculpture’ is in fact the ultimate roller coaster:
John Allen, former president of the famed Philadelphia Toboggan Company, once sad that “the ultimate roller coaster is built when you send out twenty-four people and they all come back dead. This could be done, you know.”
Yes, but this is about enjoying your final moments, trying to make somrthing terrible, into something that you'll enjoy. and TBH, I can see the point in that. if i were to go out from a horrific illness, i'd much rathr go out screaming with enjoyment, than in pain. Also, the video would be more enjoyable for the family

That's ridiculous. You could achieve the exact same form of death by simply putting someone in a centrifuge at 10g's for 60 seconds, and it probably wouldn't cost nearly as much as that roller coaster.
For executions, why build a roller coaster? Bullets cost less than a dollar.

Bu i also agree with cheesyleps, it's a bit freaky, the last message on the video.edit on 13/5/2011 by Acidtastic because: (no reason given)
Surely that's a case of horses for courses. Each to their own and all that. With a skydive, you can see the ground coming, and it'd be a "this is it, right in my face" and the family won't have much to bury/burn. With this coaster, it'd be a little less brutal, the body would be as you remembered it. (with an etched on screaming face )

I think something more thrilling and fun would be sky diving. Not a stupid rollercoaster.

These cretins and psychos beyond words need to be arrested ASAP, starting with the Royal Family and the International Bankers and ALL the Bildenbergs, and held for the entire natural span of their lives until they die. They are a sickness, a virus on this world and a pollution to the frequency of the universe.
NO WAY!!! We the people will dismantle any negative technology they build anywhere on this planet. PERIOD!!!
