If I'm careering down a hill with no brakes I want to be in change of the device I'm sitting on.
Interesting at the end, the parallel electric tape - I wonder how quickly you would stop if you hit a cow.
I'm happy to view the video from my chair - thank you very much.

Erg- no thanks.  I'm with Totgas.  I need to know I can stop or that there is someone who will stop it if I start screaming!     :eek

Watching "off-ride" clip, there is a continuous stream of "cars" coming down the track, so it wouldn't work for you to have a brake- you'd get clobbered from behind.  It doesn't look as fast from the side.

If this is on your bucket list Marcus can I suggest you place it much closer to the end of your list and not near or at the top  :whistle  :Stirpot

Seemed to me like there should be, in case of emergency or panic, or catching up with another car.
