News: Doesn't This Lead to Death?

Dirk Auer has set a new world record…for insanity.

This past July, the adrenaline junkie raced down the rickety, wooden Mammoth roller coaster at 56mph, in his specially made inline skates. Auer made it through the entire length of the roller coaster (2820 feet) in just over a minute.

"Spending two months planning the outrageous stunt, Mr Auer also designed and made the monster skates, which took him a total of 110 hours' work.

Mr Auer, from Gross-Gerau near Frankfurt, is considered to be the most extreme in-line skater in the world.

He already holds the world record for reaching speeds of 190mph as he was dragged along behind a Porsche GT2."

I laughed out loud on this on. This is over the top.

WARNING!! Kids don't get a rollercoaster track for your home. There's no space. :)

WARNING!! Kids don't Google "Two Girls, One Cup". That's really messed up.

WARNING!! Kids don't try ''Two Girls, One Cup'' with dog poop you found on your way home from school!

jackass

He needs to get a helmet cam and make a video!!! That would be awesome! hahaha

omg!!that looks sooo fun!!!!!!

More Insane than Base Jumpin? the worse that could happen here is perhaps a broken ankle (although arguaby this could be put down to a flaw in his design?) and severe wood burn, which I will admit does smite a little and at 56 MPH it would probably hurt more than the time I fell over at my local rink, however, the perils of Base Jumping are infinite! More insane than Base Jumping????.....that comment is more Insane than Base Jumping!!!!
