Would You Drop Into A Rollercoaster On Modified Rollerblades?
Francis Xavier
You might not have any problem sending it off a cornice or maintaining speed into a rollover spine run but would you throw on this pair of modified rollerblades and drop into a rickety old wooden coaster? 36-year-old stuntman, Dirk Auer, pulled it off but it took him two full years to figure out how to fall off while making the 860 meters descent down the Mammoth rollercoaster at Trips Drill theme park, Stuttgart, Germany. His DIY boots alone took 110 hours to fabricate with each boot having 16 wheels and weighing 44lbs. I think this could have gone way better if he had started with a ski boot rather than inline skates. Thoughts?
