Done a similar one with my kids. Looks scary, but is essentially foolproof, as the carriage clamps around the centre rail and cannot fall off unless something brakes. You can of course fall off, so you can either hold on for dear life or lean into the turns to get pushed onto your seat. The other type where you go down a metal half tube sitting on a little sled with wheels is much scarier. If you don't bank or reduce speed you will fly off.

Is that a question or a statement?

Done the Alpine Coaster in Imst: great fun. The time gap between riders wasn't large enough to let you go faster than the guy in front without catching them up. So not much choice about using the brakes.

The rider is almost silent in the video. I don't think I could maintain that adherence to 'pre-watershed' values.
I would be expleting like some Viz character on the way down.

How long before somebody has a pop at it on a mountain bike....mono-ski..!!
