Yeah, that's another type of alpine slide. Obviously there was a problem with someone's mind if they crashed like that. Because on most alpine slides, you have a manual hand brake.

Wheeee! I think I've seen that ride somewhere, like the Swiss alps or something. Didn't Robb and Elissa ride it? Or am I thinking of other people...

 

But yeah, ow.

^There isn't just one of them. They can be found all over the world by now, even in the US. Here is a link to the builder's website: http://www.wiegandslide.com/alpine-coaster-bobs.html There is also a reference list on it with the location of all their instalations.

 

I rode the one in Fort Fun, Germany last year. It was fun, but I still prefer the regular tobogan slides.

 

About the video: Those girls have got to be complete morons to crash into the other car. These things only need about 4 feet to come to a complete stop.

When those two girls go flying around the corner it sounds like a Rice Rocket or a 2 Stroke dirt bike flying around the corner when they show the slo-mo.

 

And who was wrong on this part, The mom and the kid or the 2 little girls?

Owwww, geez. They got thrown around as hard as my last trip on SFDL's Predator.

 

By the way, I think I heard that the defunct Black Hole at Alton Towers used to have similar problems with guys getting thrown into each other on the final brake run, so they put up these "Hold tight" signs and such, along the way.
