it’s not unlikely at all though???

That somebody would get seriously hurt on this thing is likely; that somebody would get decapitated by it slightly less so. I think this is the only decapitation I've ever heard of in my life that didn't happen in a middle eastern country (actually I think OJ de-noggin'ed his ex-wife ok so there's one more).

A man cut off his own head with a chainsaw in a carefully thought out suicide because he was "irrationally opposed" to leaving his repossessed home, an inquest heard today.

David Phyall, 50, had consumed a small quantity of alcohol but no drugs, and arranged the chainsaw in such a way as to facilitate his suicide.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Off the top of my head :haw: my local amusement park in Virginia has had 4 deaths, one of them a decapitation:

- Young kid stood up on one of these, lost head to a crossbeam
- Suicidal man jumped off the 300-foot observation tower, they installed jailbars afterwards
- Retarded (like, actually mentally disabled) rider wiggled out of restraints on stand-up coaster, got thrown from it
- Woman with cardiac problems rode floorless coaster with wild inversions - did not survive the ride

I find it comforting that none of these were due to ride malfunction. Apparently the Galaxi was cheap carnival poo poo with no restraints in the cars, but still.

The Euthanasia Coaster starts with a long, slow incline before a quarter-mile fall, which leads into a series of loops that are designed to create so much centrifugal force that you won't be able to breathe, finally dying from lack of oxygen to your brain.

A standard drop from the gallows is 4 to 6 feet. That kid fell 168 feet. A rope isn't sharp either but if the hangman let you drop fifteen stories your head would pop the gently caress off and someone in the bleachers would get to take it home as a souvenir.

Back 100 years ago or whatever when UK was still doing executions the hangman was a professional (and I think only 1 or 2 in the whole country??) whose job it was to figure out the exact length that would break the neck fatally while not being so long that their head popped off.


Unless that thing loops for literal minutes I think that crazy guy forgot about one weird trick called 'holding your breath'.

e: head popping off was a pretty frequent occurrence until they got the formula down right. Or it being too short and the person slowly suffocated.

Not really the same story but near my school they found a decapitated guy with his head 50ft from the chainsaw near his body and ruled it a suicide.
What I'm saying is this world is strange and exciting if you're a chainsaw.

also the centrifugal loop thing at the bottom of the Goliath drop at 6 Flags Magic Mountain will definitely start to tunnel vision you from lack of blood to the brain and that's just 1 loop so I feel like you'd pass out and be unable to hold your breath on said Deathcoaster

I used to work in a place where we received organs for research. We had to hear about how each person died to decide if we'd accept or not. Apparently decapitation is a common accident with people riding ATVs.

Don't ride ATVs through the woods really fast if you want to get ahead in life.

Speaking of updates: https://www.yahoo.com/news/devastating-details-women-were-same-152945421.html

Two women on the ride were pretty hosed up: one broke her jaw, and the one who had an eye injury bruised her eye but fractured her cheekbone. I'm guessing they got the head at full force who clocked one lady in the jaw and then bounced and hit another in the face before flying away. Yikes.

Haha, that was BG? Google images seem to indicate it was on Apollo's Chariot, that's pretty funny. Although if that happened to me I wouldn't think it was funny.

I agree BG is a nicer, beautiful park with good food and cool musicians and shows and stuff, but the rides just don't compare to KD. Their drop tower, for example, is just plain weak.
