Cool! I'd use the brakes though, some of those bends come up a little too quick for my liking, surprised he managed to hang on  :o

From the video description:

Quote

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.

One of his other videos shows the cars you sit in - the only thing holding you in to what looks like a childs plastic car is a lap belt.. I'm pretty sure that's the only thing stopping him from flying off on a couple of occasions in that video ;D

I want a go!
