I recently read about a Lithuanian art student in London who had grown up at an amusement park in the old Soviet Union. As a PHD project he had devised what he called the Euthanasia Coaster. Its purpose is to kill its rider. I've enclosed the artist's conception of the coaster's single seat.
If you've ever ridden a roller coaster, you know there is always a long, clanky climb to the top, and then gravity takes over. This guy's design uses gravity to make more gravity. The initial climb is to a height of more than 1600 feet, followed by a plunge that accelerates you to more than 200MPH. Then you go into a series of loops, seven in all, each one progressively tighter, that spin you around like a centrifuge, subjecting you to ten times the force of gravity for a full minute. He assures us the blood draining from the head, starving the brain, will be enough to kill you.

I am really hoping this thing will be built for real sometime in the next 32 years. I want to ride it to celebrate my hundredth birthday. It's both something to die for and something to stay alive for.

PLEASE NOTE: out of consideration for the next client, you are expected to wear a diaper during your ride.

You are securely strapped into the seat. Then the lever is pulled and you glide down a gentle incline to where the chain catches the car. The track slopes up and the car tilts back. You are now lying on your back for the long ride to the top. After what seems forever (only two minutes or so) you suddenly swing over from facing the sky to facing almost straight down. And you are falling.
