That was really cool, if you ever come to Germany (idk if you've already been there), there is a Sommerrodelbahn near the Zugspitze which i can recommend for the adrenaline. It doesn't have a railing like the others, more like a half pipe shaped track where you go down with the sleds. The downside is that you can fall out of the corner which is why it has only 3 stars on Google maps I've driven it when i was around 12 and it was awesome

[@davidjellis]

That's an alpine slide - they are very cool, but also can be dangerous as you can come out of the trough - I crashed twice on a concrete one in USA and stil bear the scars!

Guy at the bottom: "Hey thanks for being the first test for the season"

[@spurgendahl]

Thank you very much for the ride. I'm so happy for experiencing this in front of my laptop; occasionally I get the impression the ride is far too steep for me to see in real life. Quite a lot of the trip goes mercifully through woods, but still I imagine this is a No Go Zone for people like me, suffering of fears of heights.

[@davidjellis]

I am pleased you can at least experience it through the laptop - it was a scary experience even for me, and I have ridden a lot of roller coasters.

[@FumblsTheSniper]

That looked more fun than an entire day at any theme park.

[@takumifujiwara2083]

Not universal tho…

[@cmac069]

I road this and definitely pulled the break a few times. I had my kid with me and I definitely would have still used the break but there were only 2 spots that I remember actually thinking it was necessary. This dudes insane.

[@davidjellis]

It was rather crazy :-)

Ah, the glories of not having fearful slow-pokes ahead of you to ruin your good time: would love to go on a mountain coaster like this someday.

I was with you all the way on that ride and love it from England ❤❤

These sleds do break on their own when 40km/h are reached....! The old ones.... For example in Windischgarsten ( upper Austria)! They are badass.... You can easily fly out of the course

Thanks Ricky :-)

[@davidjellis]

It was monetised after about 4 million views, so missed out on the initial viral hit, but done ok for me since :-)

[@TheLoudenclear]

6superb9 what? how do you monetize a vid?

[@davidjellis]

You can apply to have monetisation added to your channel. In my case KZbin invited me to become a Partner as a result of this video going viral and as a partner you can monetise your videos.

The sound of the wind brings back memories of fighting an Olympic judoka. He threw me with that much speed and power that the wind brushed past my ears, much like what you can hear in this clip. It was pretty fun.

Legend says David is still riding the coaster to this day. They should have installed breaks at the end at least.

Many thanks for your lovely comments...and thrilled you enjoyed watching the video and didn't find my cheering too bad :-)

I did this exact track almost 20 years ago. So amazing. ty for the vid.

It must have been brand new then :-)

[@whouse7]

Great video, thanks for posting! Thank you for not playing some stupid music over it! Great job!

[@davidjellis]

I am sure it would look good to music...but I only generally use music where it covers up copyrighted music playing in the background, which is unlikely on an Austrian mountain :-)

[@archetypex65]

Dude... That was fucking awesome! 👍👍👍 I can't believe how long that track is I can't imagine the maintenance on those metal track beams! How fast do you think you got up to? 40 km? 50 km 60 km?

[@davidjellis]

The track is 2.8km long and the top speed is 42kph although it feels a LOT faster than that and was genuinely scary!

[@davidjellis]

@@smh95826 Many thanks - and a good point well made :-) It was pretty scary!

It came up on the homepage in 2011, I watched it, and have done every single time since

[@joanneaugust6611]

In case anyone actually wonders: those signs say "please hit brakes". It's usually okay even if you don't, but these signs are mainly there because some people underestimate the centrifugal force in the curves and hurt themselves being thrown around a bit. It basically warns you about the "worst" parts of the track. Also: if the track gets wet, it can actually get dangerous, in that case you really want to hit the brakes in those parts. Oh, it's possible some of the signs are also there to warn hikers not to get to close to the track. The video is too shaky to actually read what they say. Edit: I looked it up, there are actually some pretty terrifying accidents that happening every now and then, but most of them are due to impatient people losing control and hitting the driver in front of them. There were some kids falling out of the tracks as well. So yeah, a little bit of braking does no harm.

[@davidjellis]

Like all rides, it pays to follow the safety instructions...however the ride is safe to do at full speed if you have a clear run ahead of you - it is designed to limit the speed to around 27mph...many of these have been retrofitted with auto braking to avoid people rear-ending others, but sadly it has taken all the fun out of it - many of the resorts encourage you to ride full speed to avoid causing delays and accidents, so I guess it's just about being sensible and reacting to what is happening in front of you.

[@joanneaugust6611]

@@davidjellis Yes, that was what I meant when I said people often underestimate the forces on the track. I think it's not so much about gliding off (which should only happen if something went really wrong and is not the rider's fault), but more about your body being pressed into one direction, which you obviously react to by leaning to the inside, if you notice the curve (is that even the right word?) in time. If you don't, you're not gonna have a deadly accident, but you might get some bruises and stuff.

[@davidjellis]

@@joanneaugust6611 Yes - you do need a dose of common sense to ride these at full speed...you have a seatbelt but still need to balance properly.

[@jackgrady6011]
