The Euthanasia Coaster, designed in 2010 by Julijonas Urbonas, was a concept coaster designed to force 10 g's for long enough to euthanize any riders that didn't disembark at the top of the ramp. This is a sim of what it might have looked like (it doesn't simulate the tunnel vision and blackout, but still) from someone using Planet Coaster.

Would this really be fatal? As I understand it, it takes a couple sustained minutes before damage from hypoxia starts and a few minutes after that before you'd actually die. This is assuming it's the sustained G-LOC that kills you, which may not be a correct assumption.

EIther way. I wouldn't ride it. Well, maybe with a g-suit and medics on hand. I'd probably black out in the first loop and not remember the rest of it, though.

It was designed to reach death level G forces and maintain long enough to kill anyone who isn't wearing a g-suit. The funny thing is, it has been reported that some people are simply naturally resistant to G-forces. They are still researching why.

So technically it would kill like 99 percent of the people who rode it, but Urbonas factored in this possibility. Riders would be fitted with a biometric monitoring system. If one go around wasn't successful, for whatever reason, the coaster would not apply brakes to stop at the station and would cycle you through again before your brain had a chance to recover.
