Julijonas Urbonas first came up with the idea for the horrifying euthanasia rollercoaster in 2010, which is intended to kill everyone who rides it.
The Lithuanian inventor dubbed it the ‘hypothetic death machine’. The invention won the 2013 Public Prize of New Technological Art.
You ‘only ride once’ on this 1,600-foot rollercoaster, which reaches a high speed of 223 mph, which is comparable to a Bugatti’s top speed.
Following its unveiling, euthanasia essentially took on a life of its own, according to Urbonas: “The rider is exposed to a sequence of intense motion elements.
That induce various unique experiences from euphoria to thrill, from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, finally, death.”
“From there, you would begin experiencing a blackout and ultimately you would eventually lose consciousness and die.”
Theoretically, each rider would go through a sequence of loops that, as the rollercoaster goes on, grow smaller and smaller until they end in death.
The rollercoaster would complete all seven inversions in around 60 seconds, with each inversion becoming more difficult.
There is enough for 24 individuals in the design, and each person may choose between pushing the “stop” and “go” buttons.
However, the journey would simply terminate if even one of the two dozen people decides against it. After pressing “go,” each of the 24 will have the opportunity to give their last words before passing away.
However, the 10Gs of force over the whole 60-second encounter are what eventually kill the passengers, not the speed.
For comparison, the Apollo 16 has a G-force of 7.19Gs, whilst Formula 1 vehicles may reach over 6Gs when bending.
“The train would fall over the side of the hill, hurtling down at a speed of 360kmh, close to its terminal velocity,” explains @ridesnslides in a terrifying simulation video.
The track flattens out after the first 500-meter drop, marking the start of the first of seven consecutive inversions. and here’s when it becomes lethal.
“The train would complete all seven of these inversions in 60 seconds, with each inversion progressively decreasing.
In diameter to ensure that all passengers get 10Gs of force during the 60-second trip. Your brain wouldn’t be receiving enough oxygen.
To live since your blood would be rushing to the lower portions of your body, causing cerebral hypoxia to steadily deteriorate.
“The first thing that you would notice is your vision greying out, which would then gradually turn to tunnel vision.”
