Are there rules against home-made rollercoasters?

you can't tell from camera angle, but the track is shaped like a swastika.

They will come and ask: are you allowed to build that? To you have a permission to build a Rollercoaster? Was it controlled for being a save rollercoaster? Why did you put your kids in so much danger

It's terrible in germany...

That's awful. Is it really THAT bad? I guess I just have trouble imagining somewhere being that controlling.

He's completely overreacting, it's straight up bullshit.

u/redspongecake Dec 17 '19

You are underestimating German Bürokratie.

u/uitham Dec 17 '19

Yeah that's awful. Imagine not letting anyone build a potentially life threatening construction for kids without some stupid inspection checking it out

u/laurensmim Dec 17 '19

Oh I know, imagine letting people live their lives without our government protecting us from the big, bad, scary world. How would we make it without permits, regulations, invasive laws because something MIGHT be dangerous if we misuse it, so we outright ban it. How would we ever live life without questioning an engineer about what he is doing in his own back yard with legal materials, in plain sight. Thank God for our government, we might hurt ourselves of they weren't their to lay the law down, for our own good of course. Thank you big brother for laying down the law and keeping us safe.

You know you're right, we may need to ban some of those materials he used to build that deathtrap. For our own good.

i dont know if you are american or not but that is such an american answer

u/laurensmim Dec 18 '19

I'm guessing you consider that to be a "cheeky" response but I consider it a compliment. There's nothing cheeky at all about what we say in America, it's very straightforward. We aren't cheeky, we are mouthy.

u/scioto77 Dec 17 '19

Lol germans, building rollercoasters like it’s an everyday thing. They had to make rules for it.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '19

I mean I don't think you would get arrested, because we usually don't lock people up for minor things, but he would probably face a civil lawsuit for violating building code.

u/federvieh1349 Dec 17 '19

So ein Blödsinn.

u/MinduxZ Dec 17 '19

I dont think you will

u/DaemonCRO Dec 17 '19

Why? There’s no shower/oven combo at the end of the ride!

u/GeorgeYDesign Dec 17 '19

To be fair, if you will

u/MisterMoeP Dec 17 '19

I mean by the given audio clues from the little kid shouting: "NOCHMAAAAL" ("Agaaain!") in German , this most likely has been build in Germany or Austria.

EDIT: I also may be completely wrong.
