  6. I wonder what's the G-force on that?

    Who cares? You could land in a bed of bunnies and cotton 7 feet deep and it'd still kill you.

    Seriously though, what the hell is it?

    I dunno, but it looks like a trebuchet. If it's actually an amusement park "ride," then fuck that.

    It appears to be some sort of medieval suicide booth.

    I read a science fiction book once where there was a suicide booth which put you in a large centrifuge and spun you until the G-Force was so powerful that the blood in your body couldn't overcome it and you had a stroke. I can't remember which book that was.

    That seems like a pretty unpleasant way to take yourself out intentionally.
  16. Jibble Armchair Designer

    Not if you ride it like this.

    I think there's fairly good science behind it. Lots of people have passed out from excess G-forces and they don't describe it as pain, as such. And once you pass out I would presume that the force providing for death aren't noticeable. But then again, anyone who has died from it can't tell us. (Because they're dead.)

    See, it looks like a super-fun way to commit suicide to me. I'd love for my last word to be "Wheee!!!!!".

    Some design student made/designed a rollercoaster of death, with that exact intention. I think it was where I read about the g-force death.

    Ah. So they're all tongue in cheek fictional CGI rides. That makes more sense.
