EUTHANASIA COASTER

\u201cEuthanasia Coaster\u201d is a hypothetic euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster, engineered to humanely \u2013 with elegance and euphoria \u2013 take the life of a human being. Riding the coaster\u2019s track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, eventually, death. Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant and meaningful. Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life, this \u2018kinetic sculpture\u2019 is in fact the ultimate roller coaster: John Allen, former president of the famed Philadelphia Toboggan Company, once sad that \u201cthe ultimate roller coaster is built when you send out twenty-four people and they all come back dead. This could be done, you know.\u201d
