The Euthanasia Coaster is a 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”. It is a ride to the death. The seven loops or ‘inversions’ put the human body under such stress that it causes the brain to be starved of oxygen, as the heart simply cannot push blood against the enormous g-forces. Even if it kills you, it is designed to still be a fun death. An honourable thought, if rather macabre. so i was thinking about this. so you’ve decided to end it all but you’re still a little scared about it. so you figure that this roller coaster will give you the best of both worlds: you don’t have to live anymore and it will be fun on the way out. so you get on this ride, you travel up and up and up and then plunge down down down and by the time you reach that final loop you’re passed out and finally dead. so now imagine that you aren’t in the first group to get on this death coaster. you see the car pull back into the take-off zone… full of dead bodies. i don’t know about you but i think i would run away screaming.
