Suicide by Roller Coaster

Want to enjoy the ride of your life along with the last ride of your life? That's what Julijonas Urbonas envisions with his Euthanasia Coaster. The three-minute ride involves a long, slow, climb -- nearly a third of a mile long -- that lifts one up to a height of more than 1,600 feet, followed by a massive fall and seven strategically sized and placed loops. The final descent and series of loops take all of one minute. But the gravitational force -- 10 Gs -- from the spinning loops at 223 miles per hour in that single minute is lethal.

seems like it would be a hard way to go ... in spite of the weirdness of it it is interesting science.

When I read the title to this thread I thought you were talking about the amputee soldier that died at Darien Lake this summer riding the Man of Steel.

I thought that it what it was going to be. That they found out the guy did it on purpose.
