German Man Skates Down 860m Roller Coaster at 56mph in 60 Sec
Jul 24

Wearing specially designed in-line skates, the German made the attempt on the Mammoth roller coaster at the Trips Drill theme park in Stuttgart. The 36-year-old admitted he had placed his life at risk by performing the daredevil stunt. ‘This was a very dangerous stunt because there were so many factors to consider,’ he said. ‘The roller caster is wooden and so unlike rides made from iron and steel there was always a chance of the odd nail or screw that would not be entirely flat. 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. But he said there was no room for error and he used 16 rolls on each shoe. ‘When I reached the first drop I was 30 metres high and this allowed me to reach speeds of 90kmh on descent.,’ he said of Saturday’s stunt.
‘If the skates were to catch a stray nail then I could have fallen and I would almost certainly have died.’
What I can say about him is, he is too brave. If I were him, I think you will see an object that look like me walking down from the roller coaster without a soul because my heart has left my body when I slide down from the top of roller coaster…
