The Euthanasia Coaster

The Euthanasia Coaster is a conceptual roller coaster designed to induce painless death through a carefully planned sequence of high-altitude drops. It features steep climbs and long, slow descents that cause alternating levels of hypoxia (low oxygen) in the brain, ultimately leading to unconsciousness and death. The coaster is engineered to maximize a sense of thrill while ensuring a humane and gentle end, using the physics of free-fall and the physiological effects of hypoxia. Though scientifically intriguing, it remains a theoretical design and raises ethical debates about assisted euthanasia and the limits of entertainment.
