Vertical wooden roller coaster track

Meant to drop its riders vertically, it will soon after follow up that adrenaline rush by turning them face down as they skim a mere 2 feet above the ground.

What you see here is the first fully vertical wooden roller coaster track known as the Reverse Cowgirl, where it was designed by Mike Nawrot and Romain Teil. Fret not about safety, since you will have your backs strapped to the cart, although it won??????t hurt to increase that insurance premium of yours whether you are extremely paranoid and want to remain on the safe side of things.

Anyone else find this funny?

No, it breaks a record so it automatically wins by default.

I don't think they hand out awards for most injuries in a single cycle or most engineering and design faults on a ride. Somewhere out there an OSHA inspector is cringing.

Regardless of the coaster, the name itself makes this one a winner.

"MIT's Rush 2010 featured EC's first fully vertical wooden roller coaster track. The Reverse Cowgirl dropped its riders vertically, then turned them face down as they skimmed 2 feet above the ground, face down and strapped with their backs to the cart, before bringing them back to vertical upside-down."
