Ride Of Your Death of the Day: As part of his thesis work at the Royal College of Art in London, PhD candidate Julijonas Urbonas designed the “Euthanasia Coaster”: “[A] hypothetical euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster engineered to humanely – with elegance and euphoria – take the life of a human being.”

The track’s unique design subjects the rider “to a series of intensive motion elements,” which, in turn, induce a number of “unique experiences” taking the rider from euphoria and thrill through tunnel vision and loss of consciousness to their ultimate demise.

On the bright side, hardly a line.
