Taking a ride on the sui-slide would be the last thing on my bucket list

Like this one?

Couldn't really be higher on the list now could it?

Why would it not be easier to just seal off a room, and cycle the oxygen out until it's pure nitrogen gas. The people would pass out quickly, experience no real physical pain and just leave them in their for 30 minutes (well more than needed)

If there was an assisted suicide way to go, id basically just ask for the mask at the orthodontist then ease off into never worrying again.

It would be easier, that's why no one has ever built this roller coaster.

Every master piece has its cheap knock off

you don't need a whole room. that one guy made the coffin like devices.

They already make them, they're called a Sarco pod

This entire thread is sickening

No, that’s the original!

...but why

Just ask the germans

Sure it could, you just wouldn’t be very likely to finish your list.

Where's the fun in that?

For those unaware.

"Some early riders came back with lacerations to their bodies, whose cause was later determined to be teeth that had been knocked out of riders' mouths and become lodged in the interior walls."

Euthanasia. Although it was just an exercise rather than a planned invention.

It would, but that's not the point in the design.

Yeah, the world makes me feel like that too.

I too played rollercoaster tycoon where every coaster was a euthanasia coaster!

I'd rather be shot from a cannon.

Now this is whimsy.

eyup. the one guy being Nitschke.

Oh my god. It was an instruction manual!

Well all we've got is this roller coaster.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure this is a more humane way of killing people, and I think the people about to get killed would agree. That's kind of the point of the artwork. If it stood between lethal injection and this, it'd be roller coaster all the way down, baby.

You'd black out way before you died, and it'd be a proper sendoff I think. Just, ok, that's your life, goodbye, all aboard, off you go, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......................................................-

And surprisingly effective!

Why?

Well if you want a low income option you could always just go to Action Park!

Capitalism in a nutshell.

You get to choose from one million different equally sucky options.

It's only a model.

Yeah that's why I said just the mask would be fine with me. But if its assisted suicide then I imagine others would have other wishes. Possibly going as a group or who knows what

Do you know which sponsor definitely won't kill you in their slides? Raytheon.

This is such wonderful dry British humor.

Nietzsche?

Should I be feeling something else on the topic of real-life Saw Traps?

You sounded so serious. It's an art installation! Purpose is to make us think about death sentences, and what a humane one would look like. The ones we employ in the USA are very painful, often go wrong, and require actual federal crime to perform in the case of lethal injections as in the Dream Pharma debacle to source the poison going against federal regulations.

It speaks to the absurdity of the death penalty, and how if would really mean to be "humane" in state sponsored killings, this is a cheap, safe, 100% reliable, and fun way to die. So why not prefer this over injections, or hangings, or firing squads?

Anyway that's what I got from it at least.

Edit: personally I think carbon monoxide is the answer. It's free, simple, painless, and very effective.

Ooh it's got great reviews. I will check this one out, thanks!

no. although im sure he would approve.

im not sure about the mask. maybe a helmet. you really want no chance of polluting with outside air. Also good if its not to constraining.

That was in a good book I read.

A former Navy physician found that riders were experiencing as much as nine Gs of acceleration as they went through the loop.

v^2^ / r is a bitch.

This coaster is the kind of whimsy the world needs now more than ever

But it's hypothetical which means to me that we don't have it.

I mean when the doctor puts you under he uses a mask for a little until you're out really and takes it off so you dont get brain damage and die, if he just left it on i dont see how it would stop working unless it ran out? Maybe I'm remembering something else

It is a good book but I found it extremely depressing.

We hypothetically could have it.

You can build it from like, maybe five trips to Home Depot.

Not perfect, but I bet there's efficiency to be increased.

How about a roller coaster that ends straight into a concrete wall like on those train crash test videos.

In fact, shit maybe just put people on the train crash test trains and save us five trips to Home Depot!

Yeah – that's not how the gas chambers worked. They used Zyklon B, which was designed to be painful (or at least a welcome coincidence).
