Op-Ed: Euthanasia Roller Coaster
Lithuania designer developed the Euthanasia Coaster, in part, under his PhD work.
Two minute, 1600 foot climb allows the rider to reflect, and, maybe more importanlty, really decide. At the top is the go-no-go button. Press the 'FALL' button, and it's all but over. Then 1600 foot drop followed by successively smaller, and, therefore, increasingly G-force imparting loops. If you remain conscious, the loops will impart 'disorientation, anxiety, confusion, and, most importantly, euphoria -- is crowned with GLOC (G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness), during which the body is completely limp and vivid bizarre dreams occur such as being in a maze and unable to get out, or floating in a white space, not knowing who you are, why you are here, etc.'
Interesting stuff. It's just a theoretical model (at 1:1600 scale), but it's interesting food for thought. I guess I'm not in that position, but I can't imagine hitting the FALL button...or at least not regreting it after the fall starts.
