below if you've ever been to an
amusement park before then you've
probably ridden on a roller coaster
roller coasters are fun and a good way
to experience what feels like a
near-death experience without actually
having to die in the process but one man
named Hugh Leonys our bonus decided that
he wanted to change all of that eight
years ago in 2010 he designed this
monstrosity it affectionately named it
the euthanasia coaster if you've ever
played a roller coaster tycoon game and
a designer ride to fail and blow up on
purpose then this is kind of like the
real-life version of that to start
things off the Train on the ride is
capable of loading 24 passengers on
board once that's been done the Train
would ascend a steep lift to a crazy
height of 510 meters in the sky to put
that into perspective the tallest roller
coaster ever built so far is the king
Dakar in Six Flags Great Adventure in
New Jersey and that's only 139 meters
tall the euthanasia coaster would be
well over three times taller than even
that which is just a little bit shorter
than the One World Trade Center in New
York City the tallest building in the
United States it would take the train
going up the lift a full two minutes to
reach the top which would give the
riders time to contemplate to their
decision of getting on the thing seeing
the surface and buildings below get
smaller and smaller would undoubtedly be
a terrifying experience and knowing that
death would follow upon dropping down
the other side would increase the
tension felt by many once at the top the
train would stop and allow anybody who
wanted to get off the option to leave
and descend back down to the surface
safely
everybody remaining on the train would
have to manually push a button
committing to the ride and then the rest
of the experience would begin the Train
would plummet over the side of the hill
hurtling down at a speed of 360 km/h
close to its terminal velocity after the
500 meter initial dropped the track
flattens out and begins the first of
seven inversions in a row and this is
the deadly part it would take 60 seconds
for the train to go through all seven of
these inversions and each inversion
gradually gets a smaller and smaller
our diameter in order to maintain 10 G's
of force to all the passengers during
the entire 60-second experience to
understand just how much of a force that
really is here's a little bit of further
context if you're standing on the
surface at sea level then you're
currently experiencing about 1g of force
if you accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per
hour in 2.4 seconds in a Bugatti Veyron
you'd experience 1.55 G's if you were on
a space shuttle during launch you'd
experience 3GS
driving a Formula One car around a sharp
lateral turn would give you a taste of
6.5 G's and even the astronauts aboard
Apollo 11 during reentry with Earth's
atmosphere only experienced a force of
7.19 G's so here's what what happened to
you experiencing 10 G's for 60 seconds
flying through the inversions on this
death coaster you would gradually begin
experiencing worsening cases of cerebral
hypoxia meaning that your blood would
rush to the lower parts of your body
and so your brain wouldn't be getting
enough oxygen to survive the first thing
that you would notice is your vision
graying out which would then gradually
turn into tunnel vision from there you
would begin experiencing a blackout and
ultimately you would eventually lose
consciousness and die while it sounds
extremely morbid you Leonys our bonus
designed the euthanasia coaster for
exactly what its name implies euthanasia
while undoubtedly a madman he designed
the coaster with the intent to give
people with horrifically painful
diseases or incurable conditions the
ability to end their lives with a
painless and euphoric experience some
exceptionally robust people may even be
able to survive the entire experience
which would undoubtedly leave a lasting
memory but either way this is one ride
that you'll probably never be able to
experience the euthanasia coaster has
always just been an art concept and a
testament to the lengths of human
imagination where it should probably
remain if you want to learn how to
design your own crazy rollercoaster
you'll need to know how to draw a
blueprint which you can learn in courses
