The Euthanasia coaster is a hypothetical steel rollercoaster that is designed to kill it's passengers. The rollercoaster starts with a steep climb to a 1,670ft (510 meter) drop while the train reaches near terminal velocity speed of 220 mph. Then there are seven inversion loops back to back without and rest between each loop. Each inversion loop is smaller than the last to maintain the lethal 10G to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of corpses and loading of new passengers can take place. The Euthanasia rollercoaster would kill its passengers by prolonged cerebral hypoxia or insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. The ride's seven inversion loops would inflict 10Gs 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). Subsequent inversions or another run of the coaster would serve as insurance against unintentional survival of passengers.
If this rollercoaster weren't hypothetical and you had a terminal illness, would you take your final ride?
Ironically enough me and my dad Hypothesized of something similar however it would be "The scariest Rollercoaster on Earth" at the start everyone would have to sign a waiver saying that they hold harmless the theme park. They would have to have an insurance policies through the park stating that all money will go to the park and their Wills would in an event of an accidental death have to leave everything to the park. The ride would go up to where the air was thin, drop down between 50 foot high walls (don't want future passengers to have any idea what's coming) rises up goes seemingly straight down to end at the ground (hidden passage opens) leading them through a pitch black tunnel. Comes out into the light does another loop this slims close to the ground right toward a stone wall (fake) and then goes back to where the air is thin and troops down toward the ground again, at about 5 feet near the ground it looks back on itself leaving everyone Upside down roughly 3 feet from the ground goes into another underground tunnel (while upside down) and once again goes up then comes the same journey but backwards.
If I had certain kinds of health conditions, yea I'd want to get it over with. Most older people think the same way. That's why so many have living wills, which is the "pull the plug" document in case you become a zombie.
I have a living will myself. So if those conditions are met, pulling the plug should be automatic in theory. Probably in practice also. So it's already arranged for me.
I currently am not dying of a cancerous growth, Alzheimers, or rabies though if someone were and didn’t have good finances & would be a “burden”(in their words) to their families and chose freewill to ride ‘The Coaster of Death’ then what kind of person am I to get in the way.
Do I want to ride it now, a healthy young man with a long happy healthy road ahead of me? No. Though would my views change at 89 years of age? I don't know. That is up to future me to take into consideration in this weird hypothetical scenario.
Not quite my thing, even if (for whatever reason) it was time for me to die and the Reaper was running late.
My thought is of the people who had to unload the cars. Would it be seen like hospice work? More draining- look how many people are dying here at once? Less so- they're going out happy? I wonder what kind of person would apply for that job.
I lived near the world's tallest roller coaster when I was a kid. I used to go on it at least once every summer. It really was scary when the last drop would make you feel weightless. I cannot imagine going on the modern rollercoasters, they look really intense.
I’m not opposed to euthanasia in cases of terminal illnesses but would.. at least if it were to be me… a quiet event like it’s currently done and definitely not a roller coaster.
LOL very creative, but I can't see the business model working for you. I can't say I'm afraid of being dead, but the dying part sounds rather unpleasant. I'd rather be unconscious.
No. If I were terminally ill I'd marry my best friend, transfer everything to her, file for divorce so the assets are not remotely mine, and then take out as many sh*tty people as I could.
Some people can survive 10g though I think, if I was seriously ill and no hope then yeah love a go but I'd rather try n hug a grate white though be more fun maybe or see if polar bear will play fetch 🙄
