Its a ride definitely not for the faint-hearteda PhD candidate in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art has designed a hypothetical rollercoaster meant to kill.
Julijonas Urbonas created his coaster as a hypothetical euthanasia machine; it will, he claims, take lives as humanely and euphorically as possible.
Riding the coasters 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, he wrote on his website.
The 500-meter structure is designed to kill its rider from cerebral hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen supply to the brain.
Urbonas said he was inspired to create the rollercoaster by a quote from John Allen, former president of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company: The ultimate rollercoaster is built when you send out 24 people and they all come back dead. This could be done, you know.
