A Rollercoaster Designed to Kill Humanely

OK, fine, put a sharp blade at the end of it; turn it into a guillotine.  Problem solved.

Just put an abrupt wall at the end.

That would do it.

At least 5 minutes to accomplish death from hypoxia, not just brain damage.  500 meters of track over 5 minutes is 100 m/minute or 3 mph.  You can't get the proper g forces to create hypoxia at walking speed.

Does it mean 500m of track or 500m high?

The height of the model is about equal to the total length so I'm not sure it matters.  Even if it was 5,000m you are still dealing with 30 MPH which I still wouldn't think is enough.

What? Not even close.

Maybe it's when you reach the peak of the height that death starts to occur.

I'm not an expert in engineering or physics, though. So feel free to correct me.

I'm like Super Bacteria that'll survive anything.

Bring it on!

What part?  I haven't seen a schematic, just the model shown above.

[earthboundmisfit]

Just by eyeballing, it looks at least ten times as long as it is high.

[midlifeaspie]

Track length - yeah.  I was just eyeballing the length of the structure.  Let's assume 10 times as long as high and say 5000 meters.  The math still doesn't make sense to me.

Looks like it would subject peple to 10g for 60 seconds. They would be unconscious within the first couple seconds.

Interesting.  I wouldn't want to be the one risking hypoxic brain injury on the assumption that 60 seconds is enough to kill me outright.  If it ran for 8 minutes I might consider it.
