Horrifying simulation shows what it would feel like to ride 'euthanasia rollercoaster' with a 1,600 ft drop

A viral video simulation is giving people a first-person look at what it might be like to ride the infamous 'Euthanasia Coaster.'

Before you ask, this rollercoaster is as dark as the name suggests.

The hypothetical simulation displays what it might be like to ride the hypothetical 'death machine' from a first-person perspective.

Lithuanian designer Julijonas Urbona came up with the controversial idea and it's gone viral ever since.

The simulation was first made public in 2010, and according to Urbona, it is a 'hypothetic death machine in the form of a rollercoaster, engineered to humanely - with elegance and euphoria - take the life of a human being'.

Thanks to TikToker @ridesnslides, users can now experience it for themselves via a terrifying simulation shared online.

It works like this.

After a steep 500-metre drop, the rollercoaster enters seven consecutive loops, each smaller than the last.

These loops are designed to create and sustain 10Gs of force, enough to cause cerebral hypoxia (a lack of oxygen to the brain), leading to loss of consciousness and ultimately, death.

In the video, @ridesnslides describes the descent, saying: "The train would plummet over the side of the hill, hurtling down at a speed of 360kmh, close to its terminal velocity.

"After the 500-metre initial drop, the track flattens out and begins the first of seven inversions in a row. And this is the deadly part.

According to the creator: "It would take 60 seconds for the train to go through all seven of these inversions, and each inversion gets a gradually smaller and smaller diameter in order to maintain 10Gs of force to all the passengers during the entire 60-second experience."

For comparison, the video then explains that Formula 1 cars experience about 6Gs on sharp turns, while the Apollo 16 shuttle only managed to reach 7.19Gs upon re-entry.

At 10Gs, the human body undergoes severe strain, the video continued. "You would gradually begin experiencing worsening cases of cerebral hypoxia, meaning your blood would rush to the lower parts of your body, and so your brain wouldn't be getting enough oxygen to survive."

Apparently, the first thing that you would notice is 'your vision greying out which would then gradually turn to tunnel vision.'

From there, you would begin experiencing a blackout and finally, death.

The project was awarded the Public Prize of New Technological Art of Update 2013 since it was released in 2010.
