This structure was designed by Lithuanian engineer Julijonas Urbonas. The concept is that this is a roller coaster that will result in the evenutual death of the rider.
Urbonas' aim was: "Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life".
Ignoring the potential political ruminations of a physical realisation of this structure it is worth noting that this has not been built and is just an idea.
This design is part of the HUMAN+ exhibition at Trinity College in Dublin until June 2011.
