The macabre concept of a 'euthanasia roller coaster' that thrills you... then kills you

An engineer has come up with macabre rollercoaster concept where passengers are thrilled and then ‘killed’.

The chilling Euthanasia Coaster is a theoretical machine engineered to ‘humanely, with elegance and euphoria, take the life of a human being’.

It is designed to subject the rider to a series of unique experiences from euphoria to thrill and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness.

When travelling at 100m/s, the passenger would then pass away following a lack of oxygen reaching the brain.

The surreal structure is the brainchild of Lithuanian engineer Julijonas Urbonas.

Death Coaster is a sick, but not original idea.

Someone needs to remake that movie.

They'd only screw it up.

I remember one of those WTBS late night movies at least 40 years ago where some local boss in some such place/time had constructed the “Iron Mane”. It was basically like the back of a horses neck about 20-30 feet tall. They would escort you up to the top via stairs, but you had to ride down by yourself. Of course it was a shiny, razor sharp blade the whole way down so you wound up being sliced in half as you “rode the iron mane”. Anybody else see that one? I have no idea what it was about, but the Iron Mane made an impression!

I remember it. To prove to another King the loyalty of his own men, he had his Wife pick one of his Soldiers to sacrifice himself.

The Wife walked down the ranks of the Soldiers, stopped and whispered to the man standing in front of her if he trusted in God. He told her he did and he became the “volunteer”.

For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of that Movie though.

The strange thing is that death (of the physical body) is already assured for every man. Why are these sick insane fiends so enamored of killing - other people! Of course some kill themselves too. I can only assume deep seated hatred towards other human beings, rooted in their hatred of God, the source of all Life.

I remember a particularly scary episode of Tarzan Matinee Theatre
where two trees were pulled together,
a person tied to the trees,
then the rope cut, ripping the person in two!

I also remember the Iron Mane, horrifying...

The Long Ships - it was about a bunch of Vikings who somehow got into the Mediterranean searching for some legendary bell in northern Africa. They are captured by a Moslem Grandee who was played by Sidney Poitier. Richardmark and Russ Tamblyn were two of the Vikings.

Obama and the Democrats are already thrilling the Country to death.

That's why people faint when Pharaoh Obama makes a speech.

What was once a science fiction warning of a future that seemed outlandish is now reality.
