Every year many people die placidly in their sleep, accidentally poisoned by carbon monoxide. No special injection or elaborate devices, it’s one of the most painless, effective, and cheap options, but people really like to over engineer euthanasia.

Yeah 100%. I had to space it out between other reads.

Highly inefficient killing machine. It's like they're trying to avoid killing its passengers but failing. This failed as an euthanasia machine at the planning stage.

It's just physics people.

Enough Gs and your brain and internal organs smush into mush, and I'm not talking Warren Gs.

You know... You could... You know...

I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy when I was like 22 and it sent me into a decade long depression I never really recovered from.

So I think I'll pass. Good tip tho.

This is a great idea, as long as everyone agrees to wearing really effective adult diapers. Otherwise it will be a water ride.

I'm with you 100%. Cheap, effective, painless.

In lieu of that, what about the deathcoaster though huh?

That's bleak.

True.

And bleak.

The ride's seven inversions would inflict 10 g (g-force) on its passengers for 60 seconds, causing g-force related symptoms starting with greyout through tunnel vision to syncope, and eventually g-LOC (g-force induced loss of consciousness) and death.

But

According to the National Institutes of Health, the human brain can survive without oxygen for up to four or five minutes. During this time, the brain is not capable of functioning at anything near its normal capacity. Extensive and irreversible brain damage may occur through cell death if oxygen levels are not restored quickly enough after this period.

What am I missing?

I wonder if it would hold to scrutiny in OpenRCT2.

Regulate

Sure but it gets taped down and such when your under and you are not worried about air getting in as much as so much aneshteia getting out that it will be to low a dosage. With nitrogen you don't want oxygen extending out your awareness or triggers from soemthing like co2. You more worried about it getting in. Then also it just gets to a level of being tussed up which can wierd you out. I mean if you had to but I think the coffin/pod thing is a good compromise of comfort and being able to feel ate ease along with assurance on function.

...

G-force taking the blood out of the brain.

If a person suddenly stops breathing there is still oxygen in their blood that their brain can utilize. However with strong g-forces the blood can be displaced out of the brain entirely. Think about where the feet will be on the coaster and where the blood would be pushed to.

Honestly, I’m surprised this isn’t americas death penalty method of choice.

It makes sense, ngl. No chemicals needed.

I mean I don't think anyone survives in that game.

You could easily make this a water ride.

Too humane

Now you're thinking like an engineer!

That's why no one has built this roller coaster YET!

This really kind of creeped me out when I first read about it.

How is there not a movie about this thing lol

Presumably they would be clinically dead at the end of the ride, that is they would have stopped breathing and their heart would have stopped beating. It may still be possible to revive someone with prompt medical attention, but for the job to be finished all you'd have to do at that point is nothing.

This is like reading about early oval racetracks in the US, which were made out of wooden boards: the drivers were getting splinters flying in their faces, aside from a host of other problems.

I was relating to the action park slide which was very real.

Mrs. Davis

The diaper is optional, but the cleanup crew would really appreciate if you wore it

The Indonesians committed genocide with a wire tied to a wall.

Wrap it around the neck and pull. Next.

It really is shocking how the Nazis overcomplicated their genocide

Oh hey, the Mrs. Davis death machine actually has science behind it

all passengers are given the choice to exit the train if they wish to do so. If they do not, they will have some time to say their last words.

All passengers are required to press a button to continue the ride, which then takes the cars down a 500 m (1,600 ft) drop, propelling the train at speeds up to 360 kilometres per hour

...

Subsequent inversions or a second run of the rollercoaster would serve as insurance against unintentional survival of more robust passengers...

That's contradictory

More like "so you wouldn't press a death button to end up alive and likely disabled"

All euthanasia devices are kinda cxary to read about, honestly

There is a short film on YouTube IIRC, saw it years ago but forget the name of it 😶

I don't know about that, but watch "The Centrifuge Brain Project" on YouTube. It's something.

I mean, it would work fine without all the loops. Just let the drop continue to the ground without leveling off.

Too whimsical

If it had anything less than 10.0 nausea rating it wasn't a real coaster

With my luck they'd have to Mitch McConnell me up for a second ride

Holy shit how is this video 13 years old

This was just an art project, not something to build in reality as it obviously is bad in every way possible

Ah yes, the whimsey of the American death machine….

I can hardly think of worse ways to die, having all the time in the world to think it through on the way up listening to the "click-clack-click-clack" of the train on the rails, and then going over the falls... Maybe drowning and burning but that's about what I can come up with.

Invest once, and you can euthanize hundreds of people per day for years.

Read some reviews first. It's a lot more hopeful and pleasant than The Road.

Hey even The Road ended on a happy note.

After all that hardship and horror, the poor starving child was rescued and lived happily ever after with a family on a boat and they just sailed the white blue oceans as free as the sun.

My interpretation is that McCarthy was saying, yeah, this will happen, this has happened, and here's your happy ending so you don't slit your wrists after reading this.

The End.

What would the pay be for the park employees who clear the bodies?
