Ken was an enthusiast of roller coasters and an adrenaline seeker, from skydiving to bungee jumping and so much more. But when there was no excitement in his life, he felt down. With time, it became very hard for him to find experiences that would fill him with adrenaline. He looked for experiences so high and risky in order to simply feel good. Unfortunately, his job as a movie stuntman had recently ended. The loss of his job plunged him deeper into a craving for an adrenaline escape he couldn’t find
Ken's goal
In the Orlando, roller coasters have gone extreme. But there was one that has been recently released, the death coaster, inspired in the original design of the Euthanasia Coaster from Julijonas Urbano. It had been difficult to approve its design and implementation. The roller coaser could kill due to its 10 g (g-force) on its passengers for 60 seconds. The main drop of 400 m, reaching a speed of 360 km-s, followed by seven six inversions that decreased in size could caused cerebral hypoxia. To ride it, you need to apply, pass a mental evaluation, inform your relatives, and sign up a release form
Who ride this coaster?
Ken felt excited about the idea. Even more, his only remaining parent, his father signed the form of awareness from his retirement house, submerged in the last stages of alzheimer. He probably didn't know what he was signing, he barely recognized Ken. And in regards to the mental evaluation, well he had a friend who was a certified psychiatrist and who owned money to Ken. The friend signed with the condition of being condoned from his debt.
Although death was a possible result, never ever have Ken felt more excited about the idea and the adrenaline that produced from only thinking about it, filled his life. Previous people who had gone on the ride had been people who were terminal ill and that were given the okay without much objections. Suiciders on the other side had issues complying with the medical mental evaluation and the agreement from their relatives.
Ken's determination
Change of mind
The day of the ride, Ken was determined. His application had been accepted and he had signed many release forms. He hadn't even read them, he didn't mind. He had been explained that in the slow climb to the top that lasted for 4 minutes, he could push a button on his cart if he changed his mind.
Not anymore
As Ken went up his heart beat faster. He felt excited but after the first minute, he started to change his mind when he realized that if he didn't make it, he wouldn't even have the chance to seek for more thrills. Did he really wanted to dye? He pushed the button to stop it and waited, but the roller coaster didn't stop. He pushed it several times more but nothing. It didn't last. He couldnt' wave because the seat held all his arms and legs. He screamed but the cart was enveloped in a carbon fiber material that isolated any sound.
A second time
His heart almost left when he realized the coaster wouldn't stop. At the top, his heart almost leaped out of his heart. He didn't want the adrenaline anymore. He just wanted to get off. But the coaster went down in the most scarey free fall ever, then as he reached the bottom, he started to grey out, but didn't lose conscious. Then he knew it was his end.
But he survived. What he didn't know was that the roller coaster would return to its starting point and begin a second ride. At the starting point, he was too weak to try to look and search at the staff. He thought the coaster would stop but it didn't and it started to climb up. In a brief moment of strength, he gathered enough strength to reach the button and try again. He pushed it once, twice, three times, but nothing. The coaster reached the top and the second fall came. What had he done?
The button that never worked
PUSH
Ken Fujimoto died in that second ride. His heart stop at some moment. It was later found out that the push button had unfortunately ceased to work. The staff wondered had there be any other previous passengers that had pressed the button and they never noticed? They never reported the problem.
