    This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar 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. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!

    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
