Euthanasia Coaster

Euthanasia Coaster

The Euthanasia Coaster is an art concept for a steel roller coaster designed to kill its passengers. In 2010, it was designed and made into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park, stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives "with elegance and euphoria". As for practical applications of his design, Urbonas mentioned "euthanasia" or "execution".

...The Euthanasia Coaster would kill its passengers through prolonged cerebral hypoxia, or insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. The ride's seven inversions would inflict 10 g on its passengers for 60 seconds – causing g-force related symptoms starting with gray out through tunnel vision to black out and eventually g-LOC (g-force induced loss of consciousness). Depending on the tolerance of an individual passenger to g-forces, the first or second inversion would cause cerebral anoxia, rendering the passengers brain dead.

What a bizzare and twisted idea.

Has anyone ever heard of this concept before?

It might be an interesting way to go...

I heard of it, then rode a roller coaster a few days later. All i could think of was the euthanasia coaster.

We should use it to execute people. Let em have a lil fun in the process

This sounded fun & looked even better, up until the whole death part

May be we can build one for a al qaeda training school!

Part of the HUMAN + The Future of Our Species

States that the ride is for dealing with over population or if you are living too long-speculated for death penalty.
