Man designed 'Euthanasia Coaster' that you can ride just once

A man has designed a deadly rollercoaster that will kill anyone who rides it.

For thrill-seekers, some rollercoasters offer the adrenaline rush they crave, while other fainthearted individuals might find the concept quite terrifying.

However, there's one ride that could potentially be the most horrifying - and last - experience of your life, and it's named the "Euthanasia Coaster".

Designed by Lithuanian artist Julijonas Urbonas, the chilling ride was invented with the sole purpose of ending the lives of its riders.

A man named Luke Davidson took to TikTok to share some information about how the rollercoaster works.

Davidson told his followers the ride is "capable of holding up to 24 passengers" at once.

"Once they're all on board there's a slow ascent to the top, which is 510ft in the air - that's just a little bit smaller than the tallest building in America," he continued. "Once they're at the top it gives everyone the decision to stop and go back down safely. After that, everyone has to manually press a button to start the ride."

From there on out, those left riding the Euthanasia Coaster experience a drop at a speed of roughly 223 miles per hour before going through several loops that get smaller and smaller in size.

The speed and design of the coaster would cause riders to lose consciousness and then, eventually, be killed by cerebral hypoxia - which is when the brain is deprived of oxygen over a short period.

After the final spin, the train slows to a complete halt back into the station with the lifeless bodies being pulled out to be laid to rest.

According to The Mirror, Urbonas came up with the frightening idea in 2010 and made it into a scale model as a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London.

It was then unveiled in 2011 as part of the HUMAN+ display in Dublin where it became the flagship exhibition at the Science Gallery.

The designer's official website describes the coaster as "a hypothetic death machine in the form of a roller coaster, engineered to humanely - with elegance and euphoria - take the life of a human being".

"Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in aeronautics/space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies, and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant, and meaningful," he said, adding that it's a "falling trajectory, curved and tangled in such a way that would leave nobody apathetic, neither the passenger, nor the spectator".
