Death is terrifying, so why not make it exhilarating instead?

... as an alternative death ritual [humanely with elegance and euphoria] propelling people to the afterlife [using] a giant big-dipper [roller-coaster] aimed at taking its passengers through a series of extreme drops and loops that would create euphoria and then kill them by starving the brain of oxygen.

The concept of mixing death and fun is even too far-fetched for providers of end-of-life care working with the terminally ill and for defenders of euthanasia.

No surprise the idea’s attracted no commercial interest, though perhaps it will end up being featured in some futuristic, scary movie.



Plummeting into the long steep plunge followed by the first 360-degree loop. That’s where most riders would die. Traveling at 100 meters per second [223 mph], the person would experience a G-force-induced loss of consciousness due to cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen reaching the brain), which often causes a sense of euphoria. Just in case that first one didn't do it, six more consecutive loops would finish the job.
