While even it’s inventor, Christian Brown describes it as a “terrifying experience”, he says early trials ended with passengers shrieking and screaming in fear. Clearly the video doesn’t do this justice, but I’m not at all afraid to step forward and tell this guy he can shove his genius invention where the sun doesn’t shine. Read more about this at Gizmodo.
