Apart from the fact that this roller-coaster, which might be held together with blu-tack and masking tape and looks about as safe as deep frying a frozen turkey, might just be the greatest ride of your life…after us of course.

David Ellis is the daredevil in the video below who takes to the rails with no apparent brakes and stated that:

This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cable-car and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes.
