How can this be called humane when I didn't hear a word about bacon being served on the way up?

WOW, 500 meters, That would be 1,650 feet! :ohh:

Well, let's see...
(39.37in * 500meters) / 12 = 1640.416666666666

Buy... hay, that was close!

@Expat for fast estimating I was taught to use 3.3 feet as the conversion from meters. 3.3'X500M=1,650 easy peasy. :coolsmile:

It won't work. Early experiments showed that untrained humans were able to tolerate 17 g for several minutes without loss of consciousness or apparent long-term harm:

I think a ride on the Mare of Steel from the movie :The Long Ships" would be faster and far more thrilling:

I've always remembered that scene but could never remember which movie it was from.

Here's about the best picture of it I could find. It was an execution device. A long, curved blade that a person "slid" down. It was a real side splitter!
