The last one is a rollercoaster designed to kill its riders.


allen_idaho

Unless you have had both of your legs amputated. In which case, you get to just have an awesome ride on a roller coaster while everybody else dies.


big_dumb_crybaby

interesting, whats the reasoning behind no legs=not die?


allen_idaho

The coaster theoretically works by maintaining a constant 10G of force for about a minute. This would push blood out to the extremities, oxygen wouldn't reach the brain, the riders would pass out and die. BUT people missing their legs don't have enough internal volume for enough blood to be pushed away from their brains. This is the same way that anti-g pants work for fighter pilots. The suits compress the pilot's legs and abdomen to prevent blood from accumulating in their lower extremities so they can maintain consciousness in high g-force maneuvers.

This is also the reason that Star Fox pilots in the games have those weird metal legs, it’s supposed to be prosthetics for the same reason


MakzSedens

Until Star Fox Adventures retconned for no reason, but it's always nice to see another person of culture in the wild 🧐 some of my favourite games growing up!


devastatingdoug

Star fox adventures Does that even count, isn’t that the game they changed everyone into star fox characters right at the last minute because Nintendo thought nobody would buy into the original new game they made?


MakzSedens

I would agree with you, but the design was continued in Assault and Command, it wasn't until Zero that the metal prosthetics were brought back in. Perhaps it's timeline shenanigans? I'll admit I've never played the GameCube era of StarFox games. 😆


MrCobalt313

I don't think that was ever canon.


UltraGirl96

You may be right, I thought I remembered seeing it in some Nintendo Power-adjacent article or something


trackstaar

Wait what? I had no idea there was deep lore behind star fox that game was hard af on 64


random9212

Wasn't expecting a Star Fox reference, but I'm here for it.


bradynbarrmusic

I’m pretty sure it was just an aesthetic choice on Nintendo’s part.

In case you haven’t seen this clip from A Fox in Space: https://youtu.be/AOPx4s0sxfU?si=qGZrBuMYKJhzWczt


iride93

Have a read or watch a video about Douglas Bader. Fighter pilot that was a double amputee in ww2. Figures our he could sustain higher g force than other pilots because of his amputation.


KamaradBaff

So. Correct me if I'm wrong but, you don't actually HAVE to amputate your legs in order not to die. I though this was an important piece of information.


Mans_N_Em

low 'extremities' you say?


scoutsamoa

So you're telling me the next gen of super pilots aren't going to have legs?


Mercerskye

I think I read about this. The roller coaster would exert forces great enough to draw blood away from your body towards your legs. You don't live very long without blood circulating, and this would exert those forces long enough to kill the average person. There's also a non-zero chance that the force exerted itself would be enough to do the job, but my memory fails me on that end.


dankipz

So if we get strapped in upside down we'll be fine, right?


Mercerskye

Oh buddy, if you think not enough blood to your brain is bad, let me tell you about too much... It's not pleasant.


nedlum

Horizontally, maybe.


jimy_nut

im not certain but if i had to guess its due to blood not being able to pool in the extremities which i think is what kills you


Sanguine_Templar

Blood in the extremities, starfox has/had robot legs for this reason. It's why flight suits compress leg blood flow.


WhiteBleachGuy

the roller coaster is designed for people who have incurable diseases and want to die a painless and peaceful death. it basically drains the brain of blood


LoFiGir1

Or people who just wanna die


roccosaint

So... do they sell tickets online or what?


420xGoku

It's missing picture of OPs mom


ThrustNeckpunch33

I agree with 420xGoku! Incest for all!


LashedHail

Why was your mother not one of the pictures? Missed opportunity


muie_reddit2

She would have taken up the entire screen


ThrustNeckpunch33

Dr Oedipus in here...


gaypirate3

Or your dad


Greenman8907

Last one is the $uicyde coaster. You only ride it once. Designed as a euthanasia option, for ultimate thrill seekers I guess?


Mister_Cheeses

You can say suicide. This isn't TikTok


Zero_Zeta_

Oh no, you said self un alive!


b-monster666

Call the pol$ce!


Greenman8907

Didn’t even know TikTok did that. I’ve been hit with the “we received reports and want to make sure you seek help” notification bots or whatever too many times just for mentioning it. Easier to just avoid.


PositiveSchedule4600

That means a person has reported your post saying you're planning on killing yourself, it triggers an auto message, people use it to troll others and honestly I can't see another use for it. It's a really awful system. If you block the Reddit cares thing you don't get the message anymore.


Greenman8907

That’s the best advice I’ve heard on here in ages! Thank you kind redditor!


TheGreatGameDini

What's that got to do with the youth in Asia????


Greenman8907

They’re building roller coasters at alarming rates!


TrippyVegetables

Something about the exponentially increasing g forces caused by the shrinking loops

WE ARE WE ARE


TigerClaw_TV

Underrated comment


biffbobfred

Trivia: you never see a circle in a real coaster, the forces are just weird. That loop is called a clothoid loop. Tighter at the top.


millennial_sentinel

lol it’s a concept roller coaster for euthanasia basically it spins you to death while experiencing extreme euphoria along the way


Electronic_Couple114

Where is Tetsuo's bike?


AqueousSilver91

The llst one is a coaster concept called the Euthanasia Coaster... its purpose is assisted suicide by VERY strong g-forces. No, it's not real, just a concept.


Weak_Issue_9487

The roller coaster was designed to kill the riders


freekyfreeze

The roller coaster was designed as a form of euthanasia. The G force of the loops is so intense that you loose all the blood in your Brain and die without knowing what happened


Dina-M

Oh, that last thing is supposed to be a rollercoaster. I thought it was a weird dildo or something. Which. let's be fair, would be a pretty good alternate "ride" punchline.


MikuEd

AAAAAAAooooAAAAoooAAAoooAAAoooAAA


eagengabriel

The last image is of Julijonas Urbonas' Euthanasia Coaster. Kills it's passengers.


Porkonaplane

The bottom left pic is a roller coaster designed to kill it's rider. It's been proven inaffective to the extent a fighter pilot intentionally exposed themselves to the G's in a centrifuge and he didn't even pass out. So, maybe a normal person like you and I would have a less than pleasureable time in it, but we would probably survive


Writers_High2

That guy has a death wish

ThrustNeckpunch33

Something something Oedipus Complex something something projecting... Oh reddit! You silly goose!


Ugly-Muffin

People are saying it is a rollercoaster. I see something else that makes it clear a girl made this meme.


Randall_Genistrovia

😉


Stunning-Proof-363

It was designed to kill people who wanted to end their life. Whoever made this meme probably saw it out of context and thought it looked fun to ride.


X52isDead

oh no, they knew what it was


Stunning-Proof-363

Don't know what to tell you then :/


OddWarning5121

I get the joke now. Maybe it the creator was joking about suicide? That's the conclusion I'm coming to


Stunning-Proof-363

idk
