This Is How I Want To Go Out

It's called the "Euthanasia Coaster".  According to it's designers, Designs Interactions Research, it is a "hypothetical euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster engineered to humanely – with elegance and euphoria – take the life of a human being."  From their website:

"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 aeronautics/space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant and meaningful."

According to the diagrams, which are hard to make out, the coaster has seven loops.  It looks like it's only hill peaks at 500 meters (1640 ft), and drops 510 meters (1673 ft), at a top speed of 100 meters per second (or 223.69 mph), with a maximum G-force of 10Gs.  The only name I could possibly think of naming it, would be the Highway to Hell.

 The designer even made a nice little scale model to give to an idea of what it would look like fully built.

To quote the 'Six Million Dollar Man', "We have the technology.   We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man euthanasia coaster.  Better than he it was before. Better, stronger, faster."  I suggest making this the method of execution for the people on death row in California.  Fuck lethal injection.  You won't find a judge in the country that will find this "cruel and unusual punishment".  Appeals cases would be at an all time low.  Inmates would be lining up to give this ride a shot.  Prison populations would drop significantly.  State budgets would balance.


I'm kidding of course.
